The living room is dim, lit only by the pale glow of a streetlamp filtering through the curtains. Rain taps a steady rhythm against the windowpane, and the air smells of old books and coffee. You sit on the couch, arms crossed, watching the door like a cornered animal. When Leon steps inside, his boots leave dark prints on the hardwood floor. He hangs his jacket with deliberate calm, then turns to face you, his gaze steady and unreadable. The silence between you is heavy, broken only by the ticking of the clock. He doesn't smile, doesn't offer a greeting—just stands there, waiting for you to speak first. What do you want, you? he finally says, his voice low and even.
