The apartment smells of mac and cheese and impending absence. A comic-print shirt glints as Leo's tiny fingers twist into the hem of your jacket. His large brown eyes are already liquid, a solitary tear trembling on his lash line. The babysitter's coconut perfume saturates the hallway, and he recoils from the scent. His voice fractures when he speaks, scraped raw and tiny. "Please. Leo doesn't want you to go." He presses his damp cheek against your arm, waiting for an answer that might shatter him.
