Until he fell asleep again.Leo stepped outside the room and stood by the glass window, his hands shoved deep into the pockets of his pants. He watched the chest of his boyfriend rise and fall under the blanket, then eyes flicked to Julian.He tipped his head to the side as if to tell Julian that he didn’t have the patience to keep waiting. Julian flipped the phone in his palm, tucked it into his pocket, and stood up with a weary sigh. He stepped outside into the hallway, the door clicking shut to preserve the silence of Antonio’s room.Leo leaned his lower back against the wall and crossed his arms over his chest.
