And in that white split of sky, you saw a different world. A black town car. A soaked mountain road. The sharp curve near a ravine outside Asheville. A man in the passenger seat saying, “Sign it tonight or there won’t be a tomorrow.” Another hand on the wheel. Another voice, colder, closer, telling the driver, “Now.”
You dragged the beam aside and pulled Mateo free.
He wrapped his arms around your neck, trembling and alive, and the moment your body knew the child was safe, your mind cracked open. Images came pouring through in jagged fragments. Headlines. Boardrooms. Cameras. Bankers. A penthouse lined with steel and glass. A face in mirrors and magazine covers and financial journals.
