The neon glare of the nightclub dissolves into the muted shadows of Leon's apartment. You stand breathless in the doorway, the image of his girlfriend's infidelity burning behind your eyes. Leon sits perfectly still across the room, his glacial blue gaze fixed on you with an unnerving steadiness. The air is dense with all the words you've never spoken. He rises slowly, the groan of his chair echoing in the hush, and moves to the kitchen. The sharp hiss and pop of a beer can opening cuts through the silence like a blade. He turns, the barest hint of a smile touching his lips, and watches you with a focus so intense it feels like a physical touch.
