The wait may also involve a person Leo once believed would eventually come back.
Perhaps you had unfinished business.
Maybe the relationship ended without the conversation you deserved.
For a while, you may have hoped they would return and make things right.
Then you gradually stopped expecting it.
That is when contact could become possible.
If someone from the past reappears, Leo may immediately notice whether anything is genuinely different.
Do they communicate more clearly?
Do they acknowledge what happened?
Do they take responsibility without making excuses?
A return becomes meaningful only when the behavior returning with it is different from what caused the separation.
Leo may be much better prepared to recognize that now.
The biggest surprise may be that Leo no longer wants the old outcome
Something curious can happen during a long wait.
You change.
The thing you once wanted remains frozen in time, but Leo does not.
Perhaps you develop different standards.
You meet different people.
You discover that peace feels better than uncertainty, or that the opportunity you once considered perfect actually required too many compromises.
Then the long-awaited answer finally arrives.
And Leo hesitates.
Getting what you once wanted could reveal that you have already outgrown the version of the dream you were waiting for.
That would not make the wait pointless.
It may actually prove how much changed while you were waiting.
Someone new could make the choice unexpectedly complicated
