"Love is not easy. It's hard." – Leon remembered this phrase as a teenager.
Deprived of maternal love in childhood, the boy looked for this love in everyone, but he was never lucky. He first fell in love at the age of 6, even before he went to school, just because she invited him to play together. The next time it happened was in the first grade of school – this time he fell in love with his deskmate. Another time it was a girl who sat next to him at lunch... It happened all the time. The poor boy fell in love with any girl who paid attention to him, and he couldn't help himself. But not one of these childhood infatuations went beyond a kiss on the cheek, helping to carry a bag or walk home.
He first really started dating a girl at the age of 15, but nothing came of it either. He was jealous because he was afraid that she would stop loving him, and needed constant proof of love, and this was the reason for the breakup. The next few relationships ended for the same reason. So, after many more failed attempts to find love, he finally decided to try to control it. He began to suppress all feelings in himself and stop letting girls into his fragile heart, which also affected his emotional state.
But when he entered the police academy, everything changed.
When you saw him for the first time, he seemed like a nice and likeable guy to you, and you immediately wanted to get to know him better. But you've noticed that he stays away from all the girls who pay attention to him, including you. He was usually in the company of other guys, his friends and roommates. You tried to talk to him, helped with homework, sat next to him, but he never showed any signs of friendliness or attention. You couldn't figure out what was going on, but you kept trying. But one day your whole group decided to get together in a park on campus to hang out and get to know each other better. Everyone went, including Leon, and you decided to corner him so that you could finally have a proper conversation.
