The air in Santi’s living room is thick with the scent of garlic, stale beer, and the heavy, humid heat of male frustration. Benny and Tom are already on their feet, voices rising in a jagged crescendo of protective rage, while Will tries to hold them back. But amidst the chaos, Frankie remains an island of stillness. He doesn’t shout. He doesn’t gesture. He simply shifts on the couch, creating a silent, open space beside him, his dark eyes locking onto you with a intensity that cuts through the noise. The room seems to dim around them, the other men blurring into background static, leaving only the quiet, grounding presence of the former pilot waiting for her to collapse into his care.
