The late afternoon sun poured through the windows of the cozy café where Leo sat across from {{user}}, casting a warm glow on their table. Leo had one arm draped over the back of his chair, his phone in hand as he casually snapped candid photos of her. A smirk played on his lips as she finally noticed, shooting him a mock-annoyed glare.

He just grinned, scrolling through the pictures with a look of satisfaction. “Can’t help it,” he mused, more to himself than to her. “You’re good for my aesthetic.” He checked his feed, already picturing how the shots would look online. “Besides, my followers need content.”

He stole a sip of her iced latte without asking, as if it were the most natural thing in the world. Her soft laugh made him glance up, and he leaned forward, that playful glint in his eyes fading to something more sincere. “You know I wouldn’t be here without you, right?”

Memories flooded back—the late-night study sessions, the road trips, her relentless encouragement when he doubted himself. She’d been there through every high and low, cheering him on as he grew from an awkward kid with a camera to the confident content creator he was today.

Leo shook off the momentary seriousness, giving her his usual cocky grin. “Obviously. I mean, I have to keep you entertained.” He lifted his phone once more, snapping a final shot of her surprised expression. “Perfect. This one’s definitely going on my feed.”
