   Summary

   Exhausted by a year of exile and the hypocrisy of Olivia’s "unconditional love," Rafael breaks the silence to demand a night of peace. In the dark of her apartment, they find a visceral, temporary amnesty where the body’s needs override the heart’s stubborn grievances.

   There’s mistakes that I made
   But I made them my way
   So take this night
   Wrap it around me like a sheet
   I know I'm not forgiven
   But I need a place to sleep
   —’This Night’
