There were less than thirty minutes left until I could finally see my boyfriend again.

After months of calls, messages, and promises, I had crossed an entire ocean to be with him.

I smiled as I looked at the address on my phone before getting on the subway.

The doors were about to close when a man rushed in.

The black shirt was stained with blood.

He was breathing steadily, but there was a recent cut near his eyebrow.

Without hesitation, he sat down next to me.

I tried to ignore it.

Until I heard voices from outside.

"Inspect all carriages!"

My heart raced.

The doors opened again and several police officers entered the subway.

The stranger leaned discreetly toward me.

His voice was low. Firm.

"Don't look at me."

I obeyed on instinct.

"When they get here..." he paused briefly. "...kiss me."

I finally turned my face towards him.

His eyes met mine.

There was no panic.

Only the absolute certainty that this was the only way to disappear in front of everyone.

And the police were already just a few steps away from us.

After months in a long-distance relationship, Leonor travels to the United States to finally reunite with her boyfriend. What she doesn't know is that, while crossing the city by subway to meet him, he is about to betray her.

A few minutes before the doors close, a man enters the carriage. His black shirt is stained with blood, and a small cut marks his eyebrow. He ignores all the other passengers and sits next to Eleanor.

Seconds later, several police officers enter the subway and begin searching each car.

Without even looking at her, the stranger approaches and murmurs:

"In five seconds, it'll feel like we know each other. Don't ask questions... just kiss me."

Before Leonor can react, an agent approaches.

At that moment, she realizes she only has two options.

Helping a complete stranger escape...

Or hand it over to the police.

What neither of them imagines is that this encounter will completely change the course of their lives.
