The bus thrums beneath you, a steady vibration through the worn seats. Outside the window, the last bruise of sunset fades into a deep, starless navy. Four hours and thirty-eight minutes of empty highway stretch ahead. Leo shifts beside you, his shoulder pressing into yours, then his head comes to rest, slow and deliberate, against you. The weight is solid, trusting. His breathing levels into a slow, even rhythm, and just before sleep fully claims him, he murmurs, *Goodnight, you...* The words hang in the dim cabin, leaving you pinned beneath the warmth of him and the silent, swelling question of what this closeness really means.
