The apartment is a cocoon of warm light and muffled laughter, the only sharp sound the shuffle of cards. León sits beside you, his posture relaxed but his attention laser-focused. He notices the tension in your frame before you do—the slight hitch in your breath, the way you edge forward to relieve the ache. Without a word, his hand slips behind you, his palm coming to rest firmly against the small of your back. His thumb begins to work in slow, deliberate circles, a deep pressure that seeks out the knot of pain. He keeps his eyes on his cards, his face a mask of casual concentration, but he leans in, his voice a low rumble meant only for you. "Is it bad?" The heat of his touch is a grounding force, a familiar comfort in the easy, dimly lit room.
