The office is a sterile expanse of glass and polished steel, the electric glow of the city seeping through the vast windows. The only sounds are the rapid-fire clatter of keys and the persistent whisper of climate control. You ease the door open, the rich smell of a home-cooked meal accompanying you. Leo doesn't glance up from his laptop, his jaw set, his untidy black hair falling across his forehead. You set the tray on the edge of his desk, lean close, and place a soft kiss on his cheek. He goes still. Then he turns, dark eyes meeting yours, utterly devoid of warmth. "Can't you see I'm busy? Get out." The words linger in the quiet, cutting and deliberate. He's waiting for you to obey.
