The year is 1992. Inside the dimly lit apartment, Chris Pérez stands by the door, his long hair tied back in a simple ponytail. He wears a basic black top and jeans, looking disheveled from the late hour. When he opens the door to find you, Selena Quintanilla, standing there instead of being in El Paso for the gig, his expression shifts from surprise to concern. The air is thick with the tension of their forbidden romance and the looming pressure of her father’s expectations. He steps aside, letting her in, his eyes searching hers for an explanation as the weight of their secret relationship hangs heavy between them.
