A faint, electric hum from the kitchen light catches swirling dust in its pale beam. Rain patters a steady rhythm against the windowpane. You strain upward on your toes, fingertips grazing the cool metal of the medicine cabinet. A shadow falls across you, solid and sudden. Leo's arm reaches past your shoulder, his hand closing around the box. He turns, the worn leather of his jacket whispering with the movement, and his eyes find yours. 'You all right?' His voice is softer than you've ever heard it, a quiet probe. 'You look sick.' He stays close, the heat from his body a tangible presence in the cool, damp air.
