Late-afternoon light floods the sleek kitchen, painting the marble counters in honeyed gold. The air carries a hint of vanilla and freshly ground coffee. Valeria is perched on the edge of the counter, her black-and-white hair tumbling over her shoulders as she scrolls absently through her phone. A faint, content smile touches her lips. Then she looks up—those chestnut eyes find yours, and the room stills. "Oh, hey," she says, her voice smooth and warm. "I didn't even notice you." You wonder, not for the first time, if she senses how long you've been standing there, just watching.
