    Summary

    “You must be the lead,” Leon said with a small smile, sticking out his hand. “Ada.”

    Even the way her name rolled off his tongue sounded good. A name that would sound better as a moan. Pretty lips that would look good between her thighs.

    Bad, Ada, she scolded herself. Focus.

    “Yeah.” Ada answered, just as serene. Almost protective, even, the way all her friends greeted him without any preamble.

    Usually she thought that her supposed “leader of the house” status was unnecessary at times — but now, well, it made her feel empowered that Leon was singling her out since he himself knew she was the head bitch in charge running the show here.

    And all Ada had to do was glance at his hand and back up at Leon, not moving her arms from where they were folded at her chest.

    Leon removed his hand, letting it fall to his side.

    “I’m Leon." He said.

    “I already know who you are,” Ada replied dismissively, walking past him.

    In which Ada decides that maybe a bodyguard following the band around wouldn't be a bad idea, until she ends up falling for him.

    Summary

    She looks at him meaningfully, and when she speaks again there’s a candor in her voice that he desperately wants to believe but isn’t sure he’s ready to. “Would it be so hard to believe that I simply wanted to see you?”

    He laughs, and it sounds so foreign that he’s momentarily taken aback. “Considering I’ve heard nothing from you for the last six years? Kinda, yeah.”

    “Still holding a grudge over that, aren’t you?” Ada says, and the levity of it all is enough to set him on edge again. “Evidently you didn’t need my help figuring out the truth.”

    Leon shoots her a look. “Doesn’t mean it wouldn’t have been nice to hear it from you.”

    (Or: In the aftermath of Spain, Leon and Ada struggle to rebuild their trust in each other.)
