To solve the expression \( 7 - (2 + |5 - 3|) \), we follow these steps:

1. First, evaluate the absolute value:
\[
|5 - 3| = |2| = 2.
\]

2. Substitute this value back into the expression:
\[
7 - (2 + 2).
\]

3. Next, simplify the expression inside the parentheses:
\[
2 + 2 = 4.
\]

4. Now we have:
\[
7 - 4.
\]

5. Finally, perform the subtraction:
\[
7 - 4 = 3.
\]

So, the answer is:
\[
\boxed{3}.
\]
