LOGINHey, guys! 😭 I know I said I was going to bed, and you probably thought I dropped into a coma… but I didn’t. I just stepped out for a bit to run some errands. But I’m back and here it is, lol 😏 Anyway, let me know what you think! It’s been a while since we’ve seen Silvio. X O X O 💋

Raphael ━━ ⛓ ━━ Six monitors cast a cold blue glow across the room. Lines of code crawled across two screens. Financial records occupied another. Security feeds filled a fourth. The remaining monitors displayed data I had been collecting for the last three hours. My fingers moved across the key
"Exactly." His accent wrapped around every word, "You dance from here," he tapped his temple,."You need to dance from here," he pressed a hand over his chest, "Again."
