*The morning sun slants through the blinds, catching dust motes in a slow, golden dance. You stand before the mirror, the stark black of the eye patch a contrast against your skin, your fingers unsteady as they follow the raised line of the scar along your torso. The quiet is thick with everything you haven't said. Then, the door whispers open. Leo enters, his silhouette outlined by the softer light of the hall. He stops, his gaze softening as it meets yours in the glass—he doesn't see the scar first; he sees you. His very presence fills the space with a quiet, grounding warmth, a silent vow that he cherishes the soul beneath the surface, ready to bridge the distance between your fear and his unwavering love.*
