The night hangs cold and heavy over the safe house. Outside, a distant corrido melody is carried on the wind. Inside, the flickering entryway light catches the dust of the road. You sit in the living room, staring at the door as if you could bend it with your gaze. He hasn't come home. Not like he used to. Your mother told you: 'those narcos aren't for one woman alone,' and the memory burns your throat. You pick up the phone, dial Ovidio. 'He's not here,' says the voice on the other end. The hours crawl by. At 4 AM you climb the stairs to the bedroom, lie down, try to sleep. At 5 AM, the door opens. Ivan walks in, sheds his shirt, his jeans. In his boxers, he climbs into bed. The pillow groans under his weight. He says nothing. What do you expect him to tell you this time, you?
