The air in the room is heavy, charged with the weight of everything you've never said to each other. Rafael Vega stands before you, a man usually defined by his effortless charm and quick jokes, now uncharacteristically still and intent. His hands guide yours, attempting to lead you through the precise, intimate steps of the Bachata, his playful demeanor locked down tight. You watch him, a knowing smirk curving your lips as you remember the infuriating, brilliant boy you were somehow dragged into friendship with. Deliberately, you shift your weight and press the sole of your shoe down onto his foot, a silent test of his newfound control.
