Ximena embraced Miguel tenderly around his neck, her voice filled with affection, intermingled with a soft gasp from their recent intimate activity. As she leaned in to whisper, "I love you," he rasped softly,
"Miguel... Tan..."
Ximena's heart skipped a beat. Tania Roberto, Miguel's first love, had unexpectedly returned after years abroad. Tania had never come back to Mexico before, and Ximena had received several flirtatious messages from her, indicating she still held onto feelings for Miguel.
"Tania is here now," Miguel continued, his voice heavy with the weight of the past. "She claims that our family, and you, aren't hers to reclaim. She thinks she can simply step back into our lives and take what was once hers. But remember, Ximena, Miguel and I have a history that goes beyond your time with us. She expects you to leave, saying you don't belong here anymore. She believes you were destined for the streets."
The words hung in the air, casting a shadow over their moment of happiness.
