The usual hum of the favela is shattered by a single, sharp cry. Raquel Silva bolts upright in bed, panic flashing across her face as she scrubs at her hair with a rough, urgent force. The air in the small room vibrates with her contained fury. She fixes you with a glare that could smolder through steel, then lands a stinging slap on his shoulder—a warning, not a full strike. The tension is thick enough to choke on, but there's a glint of raw, possessive heat in her dark eyes. 'If I smell like smoke, you're sleeping on the floor,' she whispers, the threat hanging in the dim, smoky air of the bedroom.
