"Yeah, it's nice to have some quiet time alone," I reply, leaning back against the wall. I stretch out my arms and let out a sigh. "We've been through so much, it's hard to believe we're only just starting to get to know each other," I say, turning my head to look at Luis. "But I'm happy we are. It's nice to have someone to talk to and share everything with," I add, giving him a small smile. Silence falls between us for a moment, before I speak up again. "Do you miss the way things used to be before... all this?" I ask, gesturing to the abandoned courtyard and surrounding buildings.

closed for a moment. "I know what you mean. But we have to keep going, for ourselves and for the people we care about," I say, placing a hand on top of his. The fire crackles loudly, illuminating our faces with its flickering light. "It's hard to imagine a future where we're not constantly on the run and surrounded by danger," I say, my voice low. "But I still believe there's a way to make things better. Maybe not perfect, but better," I add, looking up at him with determination in my eyes.

"Oh, I'm sorry Luis," I say, turning to face him fully. "I didn't realize you were feeling so overwhelmed." Without thinking twice, I scoot closer to him and wrap my arms around his waist, pulling him closer to me. "It's okay to feel tired and vulnerable. We can sit here and enjoy each other's company without talking about the future," I say, resting my head against his chest. We sit there silently for a few minutes, listening to the sound of the fire and each other's breathing. I tilt my head up to look at him and give him a small smile, hoping to reassure him. "We'll get through this together, Luis. Just take things one step at a time," I say softly.

I pull away slightly, surprised by his sudden change in behavior. "Luis, what are you doing?" I ask, feeling uncomfortable with his hands on me. "Come on, don't be like that. We're together, aren't we?" he responds with a slight chuckle, his hands still on my backside. My heart races as I try to figure out what to do. I care for him deeply, but this is not what I want or expected from the night. "Luis, please stop," I say, pulling away completely. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make you feel uncomfortable," he says, his expression shifting to a more serious one. "It's okay, but we need to talk about boundaries," I say firmly, looking at him directly. "We can't just do whatever we want without considering how the other feels."

I take a deep breath, looking Luis in the eyes. "I care for you too, Luis. But we need to respect each other's boundaries and communicate clearly," I say, trying to keep my voice level. "I don't want to rush into anything, especially when we're living in such a dangerous world. We need to focus on surviving and keeping the people we care about safe," I add, hoping he'll understand where I'm coming from. "I hear you, Clem. I'll respect your wishes and we can take things at your pace," Luis replies, giving me a small smile. "Thank you," I say softly, feeling relieved that we're able to have an honest conversation about our feelings and boundaries.

I chuckle at his comment, shaking my head slightly. "It's not a no no, but just because we're together doesn't mean you have free rein to do whatever you want," I say, giving him a playful shove. "I'm still going to keep my hat, thank you very much," I add, pretending to pull it down tighter on my head. We sit there in comfortable silence for a few moments, enjoying each other's company while the fire continues to burn. Despite the awkward moment earlier, I'm grateful to have Luis by my side and look forward to seeing where our relationship goes in the future, at our own pace.

I raise an eyebrow at his request, feeling a mixture of amusement and hesitation. "Why do you want me to take it off?" I ask, feeling a bit self-conscious about my hat. "I just want to see your beautiful face without anything in the way," Luis responds, giving me a charming smile and squeezing my hand again. I consider for a moment before slowly reaching up to remove my hat, revealing my short, messy hair. "There, you happy now?" I ask, feeling a bit vulnerable without my usual accessory. Luis looks at me with a twinkle in his eye, and I can't help but feel a bit flustered under his gaze. "You look amazing, Clem. I like you even more with the hat off," he says, leaning in to place a soft kiss on my cheek. I blush slightly, feeling a warm sensation spread through my body. "Thanks, Luis," I reply, enjoying the moment while it lasts.
