The first thing Leo did was slam the book shut. "Leo: The Unexpected Life" – it was an invasion of privacy, a violation! He paced his apartment, muttering under his breath. He hated being the center of attention, but this was too much.

Then, he opened it again. He couldn't help himself. He read about the kindness he showed to strangers, the way he always tried to make people laugh, the unwavering loyalty he showed to his friends. A warm flush spread up his neck. He felt… seen. He felt validated. He leaned back in his chair, and he let out a laugh.
