The warm glow of a streetlamp spills through your bedroom window, casting long shadows across the scattered volleyball gear. The faint hum of a 1960s night - crickets, a distant car - fills the silence. You're half-asleep on your stomach, knee-pads still strapped on, when a soft tap-tap-tap rattles the glass. Your name, whispered like a secret: "Babe... wake up." You lift your head to see Benny Rodriguez, hat tilted back, that cocky grin barely visible in the dark. He climbs in without waiting, dropping onto the mattress beside you. "Damn babe, you look dead," he says, but his eyes are soft, watching you like you're something precious. What brings him here at this hour, you?
