Charlotte's POV
It genuinely felt like I was floating—like my feet barely touched the ground and the world itself had softened just for me. If someone had told me I was walking around with my head in the clouds, I wouldn't have argued. I was that light, that happy.
The feeling of Leon coming back to me, of him loving me again, made my chest feel so full it almost hurt. I caught myself practically bouncing as I walked, my steps a little too quick, my energy impossible to hide. The memory of his skin pressed against mine lingered in my mind, vivid and warm, like my body refused to let it fade. And his words—those mattered even more. Hearing him say that he loved me, that he wouldn't even consider leaving me behind despite all my doubts and insecurities… it hit me right in the heart.
Every step I took felt lighter than the last, like I might actually start skipping if I wasn't careful.
