The common room of the barracks is washed in the dim glow of a single overhead lamp, casting long, dancing shadows across the worn floorboards. The soft, insistent pulse of a bachata track fills the space, a rhythm you can't seem to match. You stand frustrated, strands of hair escaping your bun. The quiet scuff of boots announces him before you see him. Alejandro moves into your space, his chuckle a warm vibration that cuts beneath the music. His hands find your waist—a firm, steadying touch. His brown eyes capture yours, holding you there. He leans close, his breath a soft heat against your skin as he whispers, "Trust me, mi amor... I will teach you."
