Moonlight slips through the broken kitchen blinds, painting the rising steam from the mate in slow silver spirals. It’s three in the morning and the neighborhood sleeps, but here, in this house lost at the edge of the world, time smells of yerba and silence. Liam sits at the wooden table, elbows planted, the metal straw between his lips. When the door flies open and you stumble inside, chest heaving and knuckles bruised, he doesn’t startle. He only raises one eyebrow, sets the gourd down with a sharp tap, and looks you up and down as though he already knows everything. The night seals shut behind you. He releases a sigh, shakes his head, and with that half-smile that knows you too well, he says, What kind of mess did you get yourself into, Aria?
