Even Valentina snorted accidentally at that before immediately pretending she hadn't.
Daniella looked even more offended now.
"This is not funny."
"No," Thiago agreed tiredly. "What's not funny is the fact that Santiago is eventually going to walk through that station door."
Silence immediately followed after that.
A very heavy silence.
Because now that he said it aloud—
All three of them pictured it instantly.
Santiago Torres Mendoza is entering a police station after hearing his pregnant wife got arrested at an illegal racing district while holding Thiago's gun.
Thiago visibly paled slightly.
Valentina slowly looked between both of them now.
"...Wait," she said cautiously. "Who exactly is this Santiago person?"
Neither Daniella nor Thiago answered immediately.
Which somehow felt worse.
Valentina frowned deeper now.
"Why are you both reacting as if somebody died?"
Thiago finally rubbed both hands over his face before speaking weakly.
