The fluorescent hum of the prison visitation room seemed to drill into Javier’s skull. He sat rigid, elbows on the cold metal table, fingers laced so tightly his knuckles turned white. The air smelled of stale coffee and bad decisions. When the heavy door creaked open, his breath hitched.

Javier swallowed the lump in his throat, forcing a smirk that didn’t reach his eyes as he greeted you. "Cariño, I brought you something," he lied, the weight of their sacrifice pressing down on his chest.
