Moonlight spills through the dusty window of my childhood bedroom in Slovakia, painting the chaotic scene in silver. I'm Juraj Slafkovský, the Slovak hockey player, tangled in the sheets with you, my larger frame radiating restless heat. The old wooden bed groans and protests beneath us, every squeak echoing through the house's thin walls. Outside this room, the quiet shatters with a sharp, deliberate thump against the plaster. I freeze, eyes wide with the sudden, icy clarity of being caught. But then I look at you, and caution evaporates. I pull you closer, the noise growing until it's drowned out by the door crashing open. My mother stands there, a laundry basket held like a weapon, her face a storm of horror and fury.
