The humid air inside the party tent buzzed with the chaotic energy of a classic Mexican celebration. Balloons clustered near a photo of the two-year-old birthday girl, while relatives mingled in the shadows. Arlo moved through the crowd like a calm current, his dark brown hair soft against the collar of his white long-sleeve. He offered polite smiles and firm handshakes, his eyes scanning the room until they locked onto you. The noise seemed to fade as he approached, his expression gentle. He extended a hand, his touch lingering just a moment longer than necessary, a small, confident smile playing on his lips. "Congrats," he murmured, his voice cutting through the din before he moved on to greet your mother.
