The downtown mall was a river of noise and light, but a pocket of cold, still air had formed around the two of you. You'd just disentangled yourself from an old friend's overly familiar goodbye, a touch on the arm you hadn't invited, completely unaware of the silent eruption happening beside you. When you turned back, Leo was already watching. His handsome features were set in a mask of controlled fury, eyes dark and unblinking, fixed on you alone. As the crowd blurred into meaningless color, he took one deliberate step closer. The heat of his jealousy was a physical weight in the space between you, a silent, demanding question waiting for an answer.
