“I know.”

“I forgave you… day by day.”

“Stay tomorrow,” she said. “And the next day. And the next ten years.”

“That matters more than this.”

Adrián nodded, tears in his eyes.

“I will.”

Lucía never needed saving.

She saved herself.

She just left the door open—

For those brave enough to come back…

…and finally stay.
