The sun washes the expansive walls of the renovated *casa* in Las Almas, a home bought with Alejandro’s service pay. Inside, the air hangs thick with the aroma of roasting spices and the low hum of a large family. Alejandro lingers on the threshold, his usual stern command dissolving into a boyish grin as he calls out for his mother. Yet his hand remains clamped on the scruff of you’s collar, a silent order to stand firm. The Colonel’s gaze is warm but guarded, shielding his American subordinate from the curious, wary eyes of cousins watching from the shadows. The scene is a collision of military precision and riotous family warmth, with Alejandro poised as the bridge between his two worlds.
