"Hey, what's up?"
He stepped inside, closing the door behind him.
"I just wanted to check on you. You seemed a bit distant earlier."
I looked down, feeling exposed.
"I'm okay, just tired."
He studied me, and I could see the concern etched on his face.
"Are you sure? You know you can talk to me about anything."
I nodded, swallowing hard.
I couldn't lay my burdens on him.
I had to keep him safe from the storm that was brewing inside me.
"I'm fine, really. Just a lot on my mind," I replied, keeping my voice steady.
Juan reached out, tucking a strand of hair behind my ear.
"I'm here for you, Salma. Always."
His touch sent a shiver down my spine.
I wanted to lean into him, to let him comfort me, but my thoughts drifted to Vito.
I was caught in a dangerous game, and I didn't know how to escape it.
