Leon and His Stepmother
Cigarette smoke drifted in the night air, the sweet aroma of tobacco filling the breeze.
"Hey, Leon? Coming up too? Sit here," Nissa said casually, patting the spot next to her.
Leon hesitated, but sat down, his eyes staring at the starry sky.
Nissa took another drag on her cigarette, the smoke forming a white cloud. "I just broke up with my boyfriend, I'm really stressed. That's why I'm hiding here, smoking to calm down," she said openly, her voice tired but friendly. She offered Leon a pack of cigarettes. "Want one? Relax, it's safe here."
