ONE WEEK LATER

Camila squinted, holding a swatch of silk up to the harsh studio light. It was just past 7 PM, and the city outside her top-floor space was beginning to hum with evening traffic.

Two months and ten days since she'd returned to Mexico and sixty days since she officially committed to "Cielo," her first independent venture. Sixty days of relentless effort and, of course, the chaotic drama alongside.

The studio wasn't yet bustling with a crew. One entire wall was plastered with magazine clippings, hand-drawn sketches, and the rest.

A single sewing machine sat on a large cutting table, surrounded by paper patterns and whatnot.

Leo, her sole intern, was labeling small boxes of fabric samples on a nearby shelf, humming softly.

He'd been recommended to her by Cole. He just wouldn't mind his business, and he ended up helping with small administrative tasks that piled up faster than Camila could tackle them.

Today, she was wrestling with a particularly tricky sleeve design for a

    Antonio tried to hide the smile on his face. Camila just made this a lot easier, breaking the suffocating tension. This was what he liked her: she was perceptive and smart. Clearly, she wanted to get him out of this uncomfortable situation.Antonio stood up, giving Ernesto a sharp side glance. Ernesto's smile was gone; his eyes were narrowed as Antonio guided Camila out of the room.Once outside, they both got into the car, and the doors slammed shut, instantly trapping them in a heavy silence."So, want me to ask first before you tell me?" Camila finally broke the quiet.Antonio started fastening his seat belt as he muttered, "Thanks for understanding."Camila just shrugged. "No prob. You owe me an explanation, though.""I'm sorry he ruined our plans for tonight. I'll make it up to you, any way you want it," Antonio said, starting the engine and changing the subject, but his intentions didn't get past Camila."You're ignoring the question."Antonio gripped the steering wheel. "Look,

    "Antonio!" Camila called. He didn't answer, just stayed frozen, eyes glued to the bright message. Like it was a bomb waiting to explode.She grabbed a fork and a spoon and struck them together. "Antonio, hello, still in there?"Antonio finally looked up, his gaze a bit lost for a second, then snapped back. "Uh… excuse me for a sec," he mumbled and pushed his chair back with a loud scrape. He didn't even look back at Camila, who was watching him, growing more worried by the second.He just got up and marched out of the dining room towards the entrance, phone still in hand, the message burning in his mind.He read it again and again, each word like a punch: *Come outside and get your security to let me in.*That tone, that bossy way of speaking, could only belong to one person. A cold dread seeped in, twisting his stomach. He wished he was imagining things because having a huge bomb drop in his life was not something he was ready for. It was never something anyone could be ready for.Es

    "Are you kidding me right now?" Camila blurted out, her voice rising in disbelief and a flush creeping up her neck. "You hauled me all the way here for a lecture? About my phone calls? Seriously, you don't want to do this with me, Antonio."Antonio took a step closer, sighing heavily."You've been distant for no reason… that affects me. It makes me wonder what's going on in your head, what you're thinking. And frankly, I don't like being left in the dark."Camila bristled, her arms crossing over her chest. "I told you, I've been busy. And I was processing things. What do you want me to do, send you a daily update on my emotional state?""A simple text back, Camila. 'Busy, talk later.' Or 'Need some space to think, I'll call you.' Something. Anything. Not radio silence."He stopped just a few feet from her, his gaze so intense. "And as for processing… why do you need to process 'us'?"Her gaze faltered, dropping to the floor. "Because it escalated quickly, Antonio. One minute we're in

    TWO DAYS LATER Antonio stared at his phone screen for the umpteenth time, smiling and waiting, hopeful that Rosebud would reply to his text, call him, anything.But it had been over two hours since he sent “where are you” and there had been no answer. Not even an emoji or heart. Nothing.Was she...? No, she promised not to shut him out; in fact, she even made him breakfast after their passionate night, and he had ended up staying with her until noon that day.He scrolled through their previous messages, a faint hope flickering with each one. They'd been good, easy, filled with their usual banter—her sarcasm, her grumpiness even—that’s his favorite part.He had even thought he detected a hint of possessiveness in her last playful jab before he left.So what was happening now? He felt a knot of anxiety tighten in his stomach.Had he pushed too hard? Said something wrong? Or was this just her being Camila—unpredictable and fiercely independent, even when he desperately wanted her close?

    Camila woke up with her whole body sore. Her thighs, especially, screamed a dull throb like they'd run a marathon.Groggy, she blindly tapped the bed beside her, expecting to find Antonio, but her fingers met only cool, empty sheets."Yeah, just as I thought," she muttered, a familiar annoyance stirring. Of course, he was gone. Typical. She pulled the blanket off, intending to get up.Ding!It wasn't her phone. Her gaze flickered to the nightstand. Antonio's phone sat proudly, screen down.He wasn't gone after all."Damn it, Camila. Always jumping to conclusions." She smacked her head, and with a groan, she swung her legs over the side of the bed.As her feet touched the floor, they tangled with something solid. She stumbled, a sharp pain shooting up her thigh, and went down with a thud."Antonio!" she hollered, rubbing her sore hip.That shoe! That fucking shoe was Antonio's. How could he be so devious? He'd practically set a trap for her to fall after he'd made her weak-kneed and sh
