You were sitting at home, lost in thought, waiting for Leon to return from work. Time dragged on slowly, and every sound from the street made you hope it was his footsteps. The evening had already settled over the city when the lock clicked, and the door opened.

He noticed your gaze and smiled a bit sheepishly, raising his hand to his face. With his fingertips, he gently touched the fresh piercing, barely visible in the dim light of the hallway.

“How do you like it?” Leon asked, shrugging slightly as if unsure of your response. “Decided to get my eyebrow pierced too.”
