 “Even If Magic Fades” – A Piper & Leo Moment
The manor was quiet.

It was one of those rare nights — no demons, no potions, no portals to another dimension. Just stillness. The kind Piper Halliwell rarely trusted.

She stood at the window in the attic, arms wrapped around herself, watching the rain trace tiny rivers down the glass. Her mind wandered — to battles fought, to futures feared, to one truth she always came back to:

Leo.

Soft footsteps behind her. No orbing, this time — he wanted to walk to her.

“Hey,” he said gently, slipping his arms around her waist from behind. “Thinking again?”

Piper leaned back into his chest with a sigh. “Always.”

Leo rested his chin on her shoulder. “If I could, I’d freeze time. Right here. Just us. No Elders. No demons. No magic.”

She turned to face him, eyes searching his. “You’re magic enough for me.”

He smiled — that quiet, steady Leo smile. The one that promised he’d catch her, always. Then, as if it were the most natural thing in the world, he tucked a strand of wet hair behind her ear, leaned in, and kissed her — slow, certain, like he had all the time in the world.

“Even if magic fades,” he whispered against her lips,
“I’ll always find you.”"
