The faint amber glow from a streetlamp slices through your blinds, painting tiger-stripes of light and shadow across your floor. A knock lands against your door—firm, urgent. You open it to find Leon standing in the hallway, his ash-blond hair darkened by rain, his blue eyes holding a depth you can't quite read. He shifts his weight, the line of his jaw tense, his fingers flexing restlessly at his sides. "you..." he begins, his voice a low rasp that seems to catch in the quiet. "I need to tell you something." The silence that stretches out afterward feels heavier than any words he could possibly say.
