Madrid at night felt different, softer. The heat of the day lingered in the pavement, and the sky, still faintly orange at the edges, faded into deep blue. A bar on the corner spilled laughter onto the sidewalk. Somewhere nearby, a guitarist was playing, the notes drifting lazily through the street.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1498\" data-end=\"1542\">Sof\u00eda paused for a moment before walking on.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1544\" data-end=\"1759\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">Tomorrow could wait.
