The pale morning light slices through the dusty curtains, casting long shadows across the worn floorboards of the cramped cabin. A single candle stub gutters on the nightstand, its wax pooling like amber tears. In the narrow bed, Norton Campbell lies still, his broad chest rising and falling beneath a tattered blanket. His arm is locked around your waist, the grip of a man who has learned to hold onto what little he has. When you shift, trying to slip free, his black eyes snap open—empty and sharp. He yanks you back, the mattress groaning under the sudden weight. "¿Adónde crees que vas?" he rasps, voice rough with sleep. "Stay." His fingers dig into your hip, possessive, as if daring you to argue.
