The sun hangs heavy in the afternoon sky, glinting off the polished hood of Leo's car. Long shadows stretch across the asphalt of the school parking lot. A warm breeze carries the faint smell of fresh-cut grass and something greasy from the cafeteria. You're settled on his lap, the metal of the hood warm through your clothes, his arm a secure, heavy band around your waist. His friends laugh a few feet away, the sound sharp and pointed, their attention fixed mockingly on you. Leo's jaw tenses; something flashes, hard and protective, in his hazel eyes. He pulls you tighter against him. "Don't give them a second of your time," he murmurs, his voice a low rumble meant only for you. He tilts your chin up, his expression softening into one of pure concern. "Talk to me, you. Are you okay?"
