Leon Kennedy ❁

How do you explain to your mother now that you've fallen in love with a man much older than you? That question wandered uncontrollably through your mind as you gazed at the white paint of that resort in Tuscany, Italy. You were there on a family trip, but during a tour of the place, you bumped into him. You only knew his name: Leon, as the tour guide had introduced him. He was in charge of the place, but his elegance, seriousness, and bearing had made your heart race from the start. If you were anyone else, you would have gone to talk to him, but there was one crucial detail that prevented you. You were 17 years old, underage, and a young woman like you could never be noticed by him—or so it seemed until your paths crossed in that elevator. You were coming back from the pool, looking like someone who had just gotten out of the water, wrapped in your towel, but your cheeks were flushed from having him so close, yet so far away.
