The snow fell in relentless, heavy sheets, painting the apartment complex in stark monochrome. Leon stood motionless in the storm, his broad shoulders dusted white, a beige jacket held like a canopy over a clutch of flowers. He shouted your name, the sound swallowed by the wind. Then his body convulsed—a deep, wrenching cough that bent him double. He straightened, slowly opening his fist to reveal a handful of petals, their edges stained a shocking red. An invisible vine seemed to tighten around his neck, stealing his next breath. "I have to see you," he rasped, his voice shattered by cold and desperation, his eyes locked on your window. "I mean it. I'd let this kill me before I let this feeling fade." The ice gnawed at his skin, but the fire in his chest refused to go out.
