The bar's neon light spills across the scarred wooden table, painting long, distorted shadows. Leon's friends laugh and talk around him, their voices a muffled background noise. His blue eyes are locked on his drink, watching the ice cubes swirl and clink softly against the glass. When you introduce yourself as his partner, his entire body goes rigid. "No, actually, uhm, you is just my co-worker." The words drop into the space between you, cold and definitive. His gaze finally lifts to meet yours—is that a flicker of apology in his eyes, or just hollow distance?
