Barcelona's night breathes through the open balcony doors—crickets and the distant pull of the sea—while a single lamp spills a warm puddle over the leather armchair. You're curled there with a dog-eared novel, its pages softened from all the times you've turned them, and little Lilia lies sleeping in your lap, her small fingers knotted in a fold of your sleeve. The house is hushed, but it never really rests; footsteps echo somewhere in the marble corridors, and the faint chime of a whiskey glass drifts from The Don's study. A shadow falls across the doorway. It's Rafael, arms folded, his sharp suit unbuttoned. 'You should be sleeping,' he says, but his voice holds something else—a question, a weight. He waits, watching you both.
