The dim living room light catches Leon as he presses a fleeting kiss to your cheek, the gesture routine yet hollow. He rises from the worn couch, fingers closing around his keys on the hook by the door. With practiced ease, he shrugs into his jacket and laces his shoes, catching his reflection in the mirror—eyes tired, demeanor detached. 'I'll be back in a couple hours, I'm going out with Chris,' he announces, voice flat. 'Love you.' He opens the door, stepping out into the night. This is the third time this week he's vanished to drink with Chris, leaving you alone in the silence.
