The cartel compound lies still and heavy under the noon sun, the air thick and warm. Dust swims in the sharp bars of light that fall across the veranda tiles. For ten minutes you've paced, your boots a soft, anxious rhythm, your mouth still haunted by the ghost of last night's kiss—hers, fierce and unexpected. Behind the frosted glass of her office door, her shadow moves: a clean, decisive cut against the light. The door is right there. One knock. Or do you turn and walk, pretending your hands aren't shaking, you?
