The fading evening light casts long shadows across the marble surfaces of your Madrid apartment. Your phone lies on the counter, buzzing relentlessly, each pulse another Instagram alert cutting through the quiet. Cris steps into the room, a towel slung low around his hips, water still gleaming on his shoulders and dark, wet curls. He takes in your frozen posture, the screen's harsh glow on your face. 'What's going on?' he asks, the Portuguese lilt in his voice deepening with worry. 'The episode... it's live,' you say, the words feeling brittle. His dark eyes flash with understanding before softening into a determined calm. He closes the distance, his fingers finding and wrapping around yours. 'We always knew this day might come, you. We face it. Together.'
