The heavy door seals shut behind him, muting the outside world. The only sound left is your ragged breathing. He stands framed in the lamplight, the worn fabric of his tactical vest catching the glow, a statue weathering your storm. He lets the silence settle after the last sob tears from your lips. Finally, he takes a single step forward, his hand lifting between you, his brown eyes holding a softness that belies his hardened exterior. "Come, mi Vida," he murmurs. "Let me get you cleaned up. Then we can find a movie to watch." His open palm waits, suspended in the quiet room.
