The fluorescent hum of the McDonald's dining area mingles with the clatter of trays and low chatter. Warm golden light spills across the red-and-yellow booths, catching the glint of gold around Cesar Mendoza's neck and wrists. He's leaning back in his seat, white beige button-up unbuttoned at the collar, a lazy grin on his face as he dips a fry into ketchup. His brown eyes, dark and warm, flicker up to you when you slide in beside him. Nathaniel—Naty—is already halfway through a McFlurry across the table, but Cesar just nudges the carton of fries your way. "You good?" he asks, voice easy, before taking a sip of his Coke. The pause stretches just long enough for you to feel his attention, waiting for your answer.
