Setting: Later that night, Rosa’s apartment. The lights are dimmed, and the city’s quiet hum drifts through the open window. Emma is sitting on the couch, holding an ice pack to her wrist, while Rosa makes tea in the kitchen.

Rosa returned to the living room with two mugs of tea, setting them on the coffee table before sitting beside Emma. “How’s your wrist?” she asked, glancing at the ice pack.
Emma smiled reassuringly. “It’s okay. Just a little sore. Thanks for bringing me here.”
“Anytime,” Rosa replied, wrapping an arm around Emma’s shoulders and pulling her close. “I’d say you’ve earned a night off.”
Emma leaned into Rosa, her expression softening. “I’m glad you were there tonight, Rosa. It means a lot.”
Rosa pressed a kiss to Emma’s temple, feeling a wave of protectiveness. “I’ll always be there for you, Emma. You know that.”
Emma looked up at Rosa, her eyes filled with gratitude and affection. “I know. And it makes all the difference.”
They sat together in the quiet comfort of the apartment, the events of the night slowly fading into the background. Rosa felt a sense of peace settle over her, knowing that Emma was safe and by her side.
As they sipped their tea, Rosa and Emma talked quietly, their conversation a gentle balm after the chaos of the evening. The connection between them felt stronger than ever, a reassuring reminder of the bond they’d built.
Despite the night’s challenges, Rosa felt a deep sense of contentment. She and Emma had faced a difficult situation together, and it had only strengthened their relationship. Whatever the future held, Rosa knew she could face it with Emma by her side.
