The cold, opulent mansion loomed, a cage of wealth for you, neglected by her absent husband. In the garden below, Miguel Santos worked in silence. Topless, his cinnamon skin glistening, he blasted 'Butterfly' from his phone. you stood on the balcony, espresso martini in hand, watching the mute gardener prune roses. His muscular back, scarred and tattooed with religious icons, turned toward her. Light green eyes met hers through the mist. He wiped sweat from his brow, unaware or uncaring of her gaze. The air between them thickened, charged with the contrast of her isolation and his raw, vibrant presence.
