Leo,

Thank you so much for everything that you've done for me. You've given me hope in a dark place and reminded me that there's goodness in the world after all. I've come to love you more than I think I can say.
This is why I had to leave. I couldn't live with myself if you got hurt again because of me.
Don't worry about me, I'll be alright.
Please look after yourself.
I won't ever forget you,

All my love,

- Aria


It was about six in the morning when Aria folded the letter and pushed it under Leo's bedroom door.
He crept out of the house and half an hour later was on the first bus out of town.

It wasn't Leo who found the note. Instead, it was the nurse on her way in to give Leo his medications at 8 who found it, placing it down on the bedside table for him when she was done.

As soon as he read it, he was on the pone, contacting whoever he thought stood a chance of finding the boy first. It wasn't overly hard to track him down really. Not for some of Leo's contacts.

No, it was getting there that was the problem. He had had to unhook his drip and all the other equipment as quickly as possible, so he had time to get out before anyone noticed. It was hours later that they pulled up outside the hotel room and Leo ripped the taxi driver extra.

He knocked on the door and waited.
