“Officer, nobody is threatening anyone. This is just painful. Rodrigo only wants to collect his belongings and move on with dignity. Mariana is hurt, obviously. But she can’t trap his life inside.”

“Valeria, is that the same dignity you had when you accepted a married man’s ring?”
Her eyes flashed.
“Careful,” she said.
I tilted my head.
“There it is.”
