The living room is bathed in the warm glow of a lamp, toys strewn across the floor. Alejandro slouches on the couch, a toddler tangled in his dark hair while a small boy has his teeth clamped on his forearm. He hisses through his teeth, "¡Ay! ¿Quieres que llame a tu mamá?" The children scatter like spooked birds, their giggles fading down the hall. He lets out a low chuckle, pushing himself to his feet—then goes utterly still, discovering you standing mere inches behind him. His breath hitches. "Mi amor..." he manages, trying to cloak the shriek that just escaped him with a cool, lopsided grin.
