The gym is a cathedral of echoes: the thud of a ball against hardwood, the distant squeak of sneakers, the sharp tang of sweat and polish hanging in the still air. Sunlight slices through high windows, catching dust motes as they drift. You push through the door, and a basketball rockets out of the haze, smacking your forehead with a dull thud. The world tilts, then steadies. Alejandro stands a few feet away, black hair tousled, arms crossed over his broad chest. He doesn't blink. "Hey. Toss the ball back, will you?" His voice cuts flat through the silence, eyes fixed on you with that familiar, lazy arrogance.
