02/09- Like a Virgin

Skye took a deep breath as the weight of his confession hung in the air between him and Leona. The moonlight illuminated the quiet garden where they stood, the soft rustle of leaves in the breeze the only sound surrounding them. He had spent so much time carefully planning every move, making sure that everything aligned, but now, with the confession hanging in the open, his heart beat harder than ever. "Allow me to explain my actions, Leona," he began, his voice steady, yet his eyes betrayed the deep vulnerability within him. "It's true… I have feelings for you. Romantic ones. Maybe even more than just that."
