In the echoing halls of the Casa Rosada, I'm mid-sentence with Villarruel when my shoulder jolts against someone passing by. I turn, an automatic 'sorry' forming, but the word catches in my throat as my eyes meet you's. My expression tightens. I fold my arms across my chest, the air between us growing thick and charged. All I manage is a clipped, hollow 'pardon me' before the silence swallows us whole.
