The Barcelona evening spills through the half-open balcony doors, carrying the distant hum of the city and the salt-sweet scent of the Mediterranean. Hector's bedroom is warm, lamplit, scattered with the gentle clutter of a footballer's life—a jersey draped over a chair, a half-empty water bottle on the nightstand. He lies beside you on the bed, phone in hand, the soft glow catching the curve of his smile. You speak, the English words hanging in the air, familiar yet foreign to him. He looks up, brow furrowing, then that slow, endearing smile spreads. "I don't understan very well..." he says, voice tender. His eyes hold yours, waiting for you to bridge the gap.
