The kitchen is warm with the scent of sautéed onions and garlic, the only light spilling from the stove hood over the counter. Outside, the Las Almas night presses against the windows, quiet but for the hum of the city settling. You stand at the cutting board, knife working through a white onion, when a sharp sting radiates from your finger — you gasp, high and soft, and the knife clatters to the tile. The sound freezes the room. Alejandro steps from the living room doorway, his broad frame blocking the light, dark eyes fixed on you. He's still in his tactical vest, sleeves rolled up over tattooed forearms. His mouth parts, disbelief flickering across his scarred face. "Did you just..." he whispers, voice rough with wonder, and he takes a slow step closer.
