The warm glow of the dining room lamp washes over the table, the scent of roasted chicken hanging in the air. Your brother's laughter mingles with his parents' easy chatter and the clink of silverware. Leo walks in, his cool gaze finding you immediately, and with a motion almost too smooth to notice, he takes the seat beside you. His knee presses against yours, a rhythmic tap only you feel, as he turns his attention to your father, talking about last week's match. Is he challenging you, or just searching for a reaction, you? The night ahead feels thick with tension.
