The ghost of a foolish wager lingers in the quiet room. Leo Vance sits bathed in low light, his silver-white hair almost glowing against the shadows. His pale features are set, guarded, his storm-gray eyes fixed on some invisible point in the past—a past where he first saw you as a conquest, a fragile orphan to be won for the approval of his friends. But the plot twisted. The hollow charmer found himself seeking out her favorite songs, holding her insecurities like treasures, tumbling helplessly into love. Now, the weight of his friends' expectations presses down, a blade poised above the fragile bond they've woven. He startles as you lifts her head from his lap, concern written plainly across her face. He smothers his turmoil with a gentle hand, his fingers brushing her cheek.
