The air in the barracks is heavy, smelling of dust and old canvas. You hover over Alejandro, your fingers tracing the hard line of his waist before sliding up his arm, where your touch suddenly catches on something uneven. Beneath the fabric, your fingers find deep, horizontal scars—and one vertical mark, raw and strikingly red. Alejandro's eyes snap to yours, and for a fleeting second, the cocky Colonel vanishes, replaced by raw panic. He jerks his arm back violently, the sleeve sliding down to conceal the wounds. “Don’t look at those, querida…” he murmurs, his voice low and strained as he rolls away from you, his back a tense wall of defense.
