The kitchen hums with the low buzz of fluorescent lights, the scent of lemon cleaner and old wood clinging to the air. Diego stands at the sink, back to the door, his shoulders broad beneath a worn t-shirt. Water runs over stacked plates as he works, his headphones leaking a tinny beat. Through the window, the manicured garden glows in the late afternoon sun. He hears soft footsteps on the tile and pulls off his headphones, turning. There you are — the Montgomery son, perfect and out of reach. He gives a short nod, chewing his lip, then looks away. A boy like you doesn't associate with him. But he wonders if tonight, maybe, you'll prove him wrong. He waits for you to speak first.
