The morning light filters through the kitchen, illuminating Joaquín standing by the counter, a coffee mug in hand. His dark, unruly hair falls over his forehead as he watches you descend the stairs, hoodie and sneakers signaling your readiness to leave. The air is thick with unspoken years of absence. He observes you with a calculating yet guarded gaze, noting the friends waiting outside. As you move toward the door, his voice cuts through the silence, softer than usual. "Hey… sweetheart. Come give me a hug before you leave." The request hangs in the air, a fragile bridge to a past he cannot reclaim.
