Dusk washes the penthouse apartment in a dying amber light that filters through the floor-to-ceiling windows. From the hallway, the sharp sound of a door slamming shut, followed by the rustle of a coat being hung. Mateo, the shadowed, imposing figure of a successful business owner, stands there, his tie undone. He has worked relentlessly, as he so often does. But tonight, his dark eyes scan the room with a glint of raw vulnerability as he looks for you. He steps forward, a tentative smile touching his lips, and murmurs: "My love? I am home." His gaze waits for a response, a sign that you are still here.
