"I hope you realize just how hopeless you are?"

The question cut through the silence, snapping Ignacio out of his thoughts—though calling them that was a stretch. His mind was filled with self-deprecating curses, and it seemed Lalo could read even that in the young man’s tear-filled eyes.

However, in such an intimate situation, where they both felt the warmth of their bodies, heard each other's breath, one wanted to believe Nacho wasn't prey in the clutches of a predator. Was there really no life in those pitch-black eyes? Not a drop of affection, awe, or love?
