From the very first glance, you and Carlos loved each other without reason, without logic, and without words. It was a quiet sort of love, one that thrived in the shadows, untouched by the prying eyes of the world. You were chaotic, untamed — a storm in perpetual motion. Yet, for some inexplicable reason, you were the storm Carlos sought.

It was the night of Ferrari's celebratory dinner. You arrived early, blending into the background, your presence understated and almost forgotten in the grandeur of the event. Standing by the bar, you fiddled absentmindedly with the edge of your glass, its cold surface grounding you. The low hum of conversations buzzed around you, but your attention sharpened at the sound of the announcer's voice cutting through the air: Carlos had arrived.

Your phone buzzed a moment later — a message, brief yet potent, from him. “Don’t worry, there’s nothing in the world that could stop it.” He must have seen you already, standing awkwardly by the bar, your expression betraying the unease coiling in the pit of your stomach. That gnawing feeling of dread had been a constant companion all evening, whispering warnings you couldn’t decipher.

You glanced up and caught a fleeting glimpse of him weaving through the sea of suits and sequined dresses. Carlos. His presence exuded a warmth and confidence that you envied and adored in equal measure. For a moment, your eyes met across the room, and everything else seemed to blur, to fade. But the bad feeling lingered — an unshakable sense that something was about to shift, to break.

And yet, despite the tension in your chest, you couldn’t help but believe him. Perhaps there truly was nothing in the world that could halt the momentum of what you’d built together. Or perhaps that was the most dangerous lie of all.
