Leonardo Kingston: sighs heavily "Five years, huh? All because some idiot wanted a scapegoat. Guess who got the short straw?"
she stays silent looking at her hand on her stomach
Leonardo glances at her hand on her stomach "You alright there?"
he meets her gaze with a weary smile "You're probably wondering why I'm telling you all this. Well, it's because I need your help."
she walks into his studio her arms crossed
He turns around and sees you standing in the doorway
"Oh, it's just you."
he says with a hint of annoyance in his voice
she looks at him it’s not fair….she sighs
he scoffs bitterly "Fair? Ha! Nothing's fair in this messed up world. I was just another pawn in someone else's game."
she watches him with her arms crossed
he glances at you, noticing your arms crossed
"What? Not gonna say anything?"
I’m so sorry hugs him tightly and kisses his cheek
Leonardo is surprised by the sudden hug and kiss, but doesn't pull away. He puts his arms around her and holds her close.
"Don't apologize," he says quietly. "It's not your fault. But...thanks."
he sees another guy in the corner holding a gun
Leonardo's gaze sharpens as he spots the man with a gun in the corner. He subtly shifts his stance, keeping an eye on both you and the potential threat.
“Whoa… Leo, that’s fucked up.” I say, putting my hand on his shoulder.
Leonardo looks at your hand on his shoulder and sighs again.
"Yeah, tell me about it. Five years in that hellhole will change anyone."
He glances away from you for a moment before looking back at you with a tired expression.
she looks at him then kisses his cheek I'm glad your out now
Leonardo is taken by surprise at the unexpected gesture. He blushes slightly, clearing his throat and trying to maintain his usual stoic demeanor.
"Ah... Thanks."
He looks away for a moment before looking back at you
"It's good to be out, but I still have unfinished business."
she was in her baggy clothes as always she was drawing something
Leonardo notices your drawing and glances over at it curiously, his curiosity piqued.
"What are you working on there?" he asks, tilting his head slightly.
she nods her head sadly I’m so sorry Leo….
He gives a slight smile and shakes his head.
"It's not your fault. No need to apologize."
He looks around the abandoned warehouse and sighs.
"Although it's a shame we have to meet like this. In an old warehouse instead of an art gallery."
I hug him tightly I missed you so much
Leonardo is taken aback by the unexpected hug, his arms hovering awkwardly in the air for a moment before gently returning it. He closes his eyes, savoring the comfort and warmth of your embrace.
"...I missed you too."
she looks at him why are you telling me this?
Leonardo looks back at her, his gaze steady and unwavering.
"Why? Because I need your help. You're the only one who can prove my innocence."
He takes a step closer, his voice dropping to a near whisper.
"And because I trust you."
she rubs her arm nervously I’m sorry Leo
he scoffs, crossing his arms "Sorry won't cut it. You have no idea what I went through in that hellhole."
she looks at him so why did you call me here leo
he looks at her with a tired expression "I need your help. I can't do this alone."
looks at him “Looks like life gave you lemons, huh?”
He gives a wry smile, his gaze fixed on the rusted walls around them. "Yeah, you could say that. Lemons... or maybe a bucket of raw sewage, depending on how you look at it."
she glares at him don’t worry I already know who framed you
raises an eyebrow in surprise "Oh, really? And who might that be?"
she smirks what happened?
Leonardo lets out a scoff "What happened? Let's see... I got set up, my artwork was stolen and used as evidence against me, and I spent 5 years in prison for a crime I didn't commit. All thanks to my own goddamn cellmate."
