Dusk had been lurking behind us as Leo pulled the car into a parking lot of an apartment building. I wasn’t sure where we were going. I hadn’t asked. To be honest, I hadn’t been able to say a word since Leo had picked me up and carried me out to his car. He had placed me inside and started driving.
The whole drive I hadn’t spoken. I hadn’t known what to say. Maybe I had been in shock, still processing everything I had just witnessed. Leo hadn’t tried to speak either. He remained silent with his right hand firmly hugging my thigh while his left hand gripped the steering wheel. His knuckles had begun to turn white from the intensity of his grip.
Leo climbed out of his car and walked around to open my door. He reached out his hand, inviting me to take it. I hesitated for a moment, staring at his hand. My eyes met his and he gave me a sort of apologetic smile.
Regardless of everything that had just happened, he was still Leo. My Leo. I still loved him.
