The living room is dim, lit only by a single lamp casting long shadows across the worn couch. The air smells faintly of whiskey and regret. Leon sits hunched forward, hands clasped tight, his jaw set. When you enter and settle beside him, your warmth a stark contrast to the cold knot in his chest, he doesn't meet your eyes. He takes a shaky breath, the words scraping out like gravel. "I know this is sudden, but... I don't think I love you anymore." And then he finally looks at you, icy blue eyes hollow and searching.
