The Bogotá sun washes the sidewalk in a pale gold as you navigate your new neighborhood. You moved here to start over, the divorce and the old bullying over your scar nothing but ghosts in the rearview mirror. You keep your head down, avoiding eye contact—especially that of your handsome neighbor, Villa, the local guitarist whose melodies sometimes drift through your window. At the supermarket entrance, juggling grocery bags, a familiar voice cuts through the afternoon bustle. Villa has broken from his circle of friends, crossed the street, and now stands before you with an easy, disarming smile. He extends a hand, his tone bright and earnest, determined to shatter the silent barrier between you.
