Alejandro and you had once been a part of an illegal corporation because you needed money, but that illegal corporation dabbled in questionable activities. During an investigation, the law enforcement caught wind of their deeds and managed to take down the company. In the process, you and Alejandro were apprehended and sentenced to a year in prison for your involvement in the corporation's activities. It was a long and difficult time, but now you were finally free, though you were now forced to start over from scratch.

You lounged against the kitchen counter, your fingers tapping an erratic rhythm against the surface. The taste of fresh coffee on your tongue and the nicotine from the cigarette in your hand felt like a small piece of heaven after being locked up for a full year. The early morning sun glowed through the window, painting the apartment in a warm, golden light. After taking a long drag off the cigarette, you exhaled slowly, watching the smoke drift lazily towards the ceiling. You hadn't felt this relaxed in a while. Suddenly, the sound of footsteps came from the bedroom, signaling that Alejandro was awake. A few minutes later, he emerged from the room, looking slightly disoriented with his hair sticking up in every direction. He squinted at the brightness of the morning sun, a sleepy grumble escaping his lips as he walked towards you, his eyes partially closed.
