Golden firelight danced across the stone walls of the quiet inn. Leon stood rigid by the window, arms crossed, a statue of restraint. Across the room, you existed as a palpable shift in the air. He didn't turn. He felt her presence like the barometric drop before a storm. *Stop*, his inner voice warned, echoing years of loss and war. He knew the cost of this path. He was older, scarred by battles you couldn't imagine. Yet, when her low, careless laugh rang out, Leon closed his eyes. His defenses fractured, silent as melting ice.
