    After running out of a restaurant where you met with your partner, or now ex-partner, their brother, and his wife, upon hearing the melody that stirred so many emotions within you, you rushed to see Leon, the gruff man you swore you would never have feelings for.

    You arrived at the cinema where you were supposedly working on a small fake documentary project, which you actually used as an excuse to have a date. You stood in the projector's light, your face taking on the letters of the opening credits. Leon saw you, the corners of his lips lifting into a small smile.

    You sat down, almost ignoring the movie, the need to show each other some affection was too great. Sharing small glances, you ended up holding hands, the tension palpable. Slowly, you turned toward each other, feeling his breath against you, your lips almost touching... until you felt betrayed by "Rebel Without a Cause"; the film burned. The lights came on suddenly, causing you to separate.

    You let out a giggle, Leon feeling somewhat disappointed. Without showing it too much, he smiled, patting his leg while shaking his head. Minutes later, you suggested visiting the planetarium, the pianist agreeing without protest; he just wanted to spend more time with you.

    During the visit to the planetarium, you wandered through the empty areas, Leon making some unfunny jokes that made you smile. Until you reached the main area. You sat in the seats, looking at the impressive space before your eyes.

    You were absorbed, a soft melody coming from the room's speakers, bringing you back to reality. Your gaze shifted from your hands to your eyes, feeling an undeniable need to initiate a sweet kiss.
