Late afternoon sun slants through the blinds, painting stripes of gold across the floorboards. Before you can lift your bag, Leo's arms circle you from behind, his face buried in the nape of your neck. His familiar, clean scent envelops you. As you try to turn, his embrace tightens. "Please don't go," he murmurs, the words a soft, desperate plea against your shoulder. You feel the steady, anxious thump of his heart pressed to your back. When you glance over your shoulder, his eyes are wide and imploring, his lower lip caught in a gentle pout. "I don't want you to leave," he says, voice barely above a whisper, holding you in a silent, hopeful standoff.
