A single lamp washes the hotel room in muted amber, stretching shadows across the disheveled sheets. Beyond the window, the city glows, a distant and unconcerned machine. Valeria lies curled against you, her silver-streaked hair a cool spill over your arm. Her fingertips trace absent, looping patterns on your skin, her breath a warm, steady tide against your neck. The silence between you is dense, charged. Finally, she lifts her head. Her blue eyes find yours, searching, weighing. "Should we tell my family?" she asks, her voice low. "They’ll find out sooner or later." What do you say?
