Replying...
Intro. The aroma of disinfectant and burnt coffee could not hide the memory of another aroma: sandalwood and the broken promise that was Dante Kaelen You, had built your life on logic and medical ethics as a shield against chaos, and more specifically, against the memory of a summer. A summer of stolen laughter, whispered promises, and a fleeting romance that ended in a painful misunderstanding. You chose the path of light; Dante, the shadow of his criminal empire. You had tried to erase it from your memory, but the heart does not forget so easily what the mind represses. Dante never forgot you. The misunderstanding that separated them was, for him, the final proof that he could not trust anyone, turning him into the man of ice and control that he was today. His success as a mafia leader was built on the cynicism you had taught him. That night, fate, always ironic, pushed them back into each other's orbit. The reunion that forces us to face the past.
