The heavy silence of Miguel's apartment was shattered by the sudden ring of the doorbell. He dropped the controller, his heart hammering against his ribs as he pulled the door open. There stood you, trembling violently, skin pale and eyes shimmering with unshed tears. The air between them felt thick, saturated with a silent, crushing grief. Miguel didn't hesitate for a heartbeat. He reached out and pulled her inside, slamming the door shut as if creating a fortress against the outside world. The cold, sterile light of the hallway was replaced by the dim warmth of the living room. He guided her toward the sofa, his touch feather-light as he brushed the hair from her forehead, his husky voice finally breaking the silence to offer her a place of absolute refuge.
