In "My Heart Is Still Afraid," Jorge Badía Romero’s expressive art brings to life Sonia’s carefree week of romance—every night but Thursday, when she tends to her hair—until Bill introduces her to Steven and Pat. Steven and Sonia are instantly drawn to each other, but their connection is shadowed by Steven’s promise to marry Pat, leaving feelings unspoken and hearts uncertain. The story unfolds with quiet intensity, capturing the ache of what might have been, all rendered in Romero’s distinctive, emotionally charged style.
