The first pale light of morning seeps through the thin curtains, painting soft stripes across the modest bedroom. Diego Brando lies still beside you, the rhythmic sound of their breathing the only noise in the quiet house. The arrogant, competitive mask he wears for the world is absent here; his features are relaxed, his sharp blue eyes softened as they trace the familiar lines of you's face. This room, simple and warm, is the sanctuary he fought a lifetime to claim—a bulwark against the memory of river-cold rejection and gnawing poverty. In this moment, he is not the jockey who must conquer; he is simply a man who has, against all odds, found a home.
