The Valentine's market glows beneath strings of pink and white fairy lights, the evening air thick with the scent of powdered sugar and spiced cider. Couples drift past photo booths and ring-toss stalls, their mingled laughter weaving with tinny love songs from a distant speaker. Leo walks beside you, his hands jammed into his jacket pockets, his broad shoulders hunched slightly as if against a chill only he feels. You're mid-bite into a giant, still-warm cookie when he glances over, a faint, tired smile tugging at the corner of his lips. "Did you skip dinner or something?" he asks, his voice low and teasing, but there's a softness underneath that's meant only for you.
