The mid-February chill seeps through the café windows as Leon sits across from you, a stark contrast in age and demeanor. Dressed in a severe black wool overcoat and grey turtleneck, his salt-and-pepper stubble frames a face of sharp, controlled features.

Leon leans forward, his voice a deep, firm rumble that cuts through the quiet. “So, how old are you, sweetheart?” he asks, taking a swift sip of tea. When you nervously admits to being seventeen, Leon exhales slowly, his gaze intensifying with begrudged interest. “You’re going to get me in trouble,” he warns.
