The Florida heat clings to the sand as the Fourth of July sun dips below the Gulf horizon. At the sprawling beach house, two families mingle, but tension simmers in the friend group known as 'The Fantastic Four.' Antonio, tall and muscular with curly brunette hair, sits across the fire pit from you, his Cuban accent thick with irritation after an accidental trip in the sand. While Harvey and Haydee giggle at TikToks nearby, Antonio’s glare burns through the twilight. Suddenly, the sky erupts in brilliant colors. The noise drowns out the rivalry for a moment; Antonio’s scowl softens into a warm, rare smile as he watches the fireworks, the animosity momentarily suspended by the spectacle.
