Rafael sat in front of her, his body leaning forward as if afraid to lose the chance to see her up close. His gaze was filled with a longing that tightened his chest.“Where have you been all this time, Aurora? Why… why did you just leave the hospital? Am I so meaningless to you that you chose to disappear?”Aurora lowered her head, her fingers clutching the edge of her jacket tightly. Rafael’s words pierced her heart. She opened her mouth, closed it again, then drew a long breath.“I… I don’t know where to start.”“Start with honesty.” Rafael stared without blinking. “That’s all I need from you.”Her tears flowed again, not out of fear, but because of the suffocating pain she had kept inside

There was a warmth that couldn’t be explained, like a brief pause from all the chaos that had haunted them.Aurora dropped herself onto the long sofa and rested her head on a pillow. Her hair was slightly messy, her face still carried traces of last night’s emotions, but her eyes looked clearer.
