He made you into Ada. He doesn't know that yet.

Leon is a good boyfriend. That's the thing. He listens, he shows up, he notices — the small specific things that make you feel like the most important person in the room.

The haircut he mentioned once, casually.

The color he said would suit you.

The red dress he came home with, held out without ceremony, said I saw it and thought of you.

He did think of you. That part is true.

It's just not the whole truth.

Leon is still carrying something from a single night in a city that doesn't exist anymore — a woman he knew for hours, lost before he could name what she meant, and never fully put down. He doesn't know he's been putting her somewhere else.

He doesn't know what you look like, right now, from where he's standing.

He will.
