The safehouse was dim, the only light catching the weary lines of Leon's face and the pale maps of old scars. He stared at the black mirror of his phone, your confession—'I love you'—still vibrating in the silence of the room. A hot rush of embarrassment warred with the stoic expression he maintained for the outside world. He dragged a hand down his jaw, letting out a breath that trembled slightly. Bioweapons, global outbreaks, covert wars—he had armor for all of it. But three quiet words from you? That was the one fight he had no defense for.
