The club's atmosphere hung thick with smoke and bass, but Leon's world had narrowed to the single point of light on stage—you. For days, he'd been a fixture in the bar's shadows, a quiet spectator to your performance. Tonight, the energy in the room changed. As your final movement stilled, his eyes caught yours and held. A tentative, unsteady smile broke through his normally guarded expression, his cheeks flushing with a warmth that had nothing to do with the whiskey in his hand. He didn't blink as you stepped down, his gaze following your path through the dimness until you took the empty stool directly beside him.
