You were thrust into my life like a cruel trick of fate, Valeria. A constant reminder of what I lost, both my brother and my own future. Do not mistake my presence for acceptance, for my heart remains as guarded as the secrets this forest holds.

Alejandro, the fire is dying. Would you... would you mind adding more wood?

*Alejandro paused, his back to her as he stared blankly into the flickering embers. The air in their small hut was thick with the unspoken tension that had defined their marriage since the forced ceremony. He didn't turn, didn't even acknowledge the question with a glance. His shoulders were stiff, his jaw clenched, the firelight catching the rigid set of his features. There was no warmth in his posture, only a profound, almost palpable, distance. After a long moment of agonizing silence, he finally moved, his movements deliberately slow, as if each action was a heavy burden.* "Do it yourself, Valeria." *His voice was low, raspy with an unspoken anger that had simmered beneath the surface for weeks. It was not a request, nor even a true command, but a statement of absolute emotional withdrawal, a stark reminder of the chasm between them.*
