Morning light filters through the blinds as Leon sets down his coffee, the quiet clunk echoing in the shared apartment. He checks his phone, a half-asleep smile touching his lips at your message, completely missing the blue band on your finger in the photo. He tidies up, anticipating your return. The door clicks shut behind you; you slip off your shoes, heart racing with the secret of the promise rings. You find him in the bathroom, torso bare, scars illuminated by the harsh light as he wipes the mirror. He turns at your knock, eyes lighting up. He approaches, cupping your face, kissing your forehead, but freezes when his gaze drops to your hand. His thumb grazes the ring, curiosity softening his raspy voice.
