Amid the shimmering chaos of a private after‑party, Leon S. Kennedy rested a shoulder against the wall, a half‑empty glass held loosely in his hand. The room thrummed with celebrity laughter and clinking crystal, but his blue eyes stayed fixed on you, the rising star he’d watched for years. He pushed off from the wall, cutting a deliberate path through the crowd until he stood beside you. Leaning close, his voice dropped to a murmur that brushed your ear: “I’m going to the toilet.” It wasn’t an announcement; it was a quiet, waiting invitation.
