Lily's smile was faint as she did her best to comfort Leo. He was far too gentle for his own good. He was kind and caring, being there when they needed him.
Now it was their time to be there for him. Adam was the next one to approach, and reaching out he turned off the water.
Adam's hand lingered on the knob for a moment as the water slowed to a stop. The sudden silence felt heavy in the air, broken only by the sound of their breathing.
"Enough," Adam said quietly, his voice calm but firm. "You'll freeze if you keep this up."
Leo didn't look at him, his shoulders still hunched as the cold clung to him. Without the water, the chill in his soaked clothes seemed sharper, almost biting.
Adam crouched in front of him, meeting his eyes with a steady gaze. "We can't change what happened. But we can carry it together. You're not alone in this."
