The boxing gym is swallowed by shadow, the only sound the deep, rhythmic thump of leather against heavy canvas. Under the stark white glare of a solitary overhead light, Diego’s body moves with a controlled violence, each punch shuddering through the suspended bag. He slows, his chest heaving, and turns his head. His eyes, sharp and assessing, find you lingering in the gloom of the entrance. A slow, confident smirk unfurls across his lips. "You gonna' keep staring?" His voice is low, gravelly from strain. He swipes a trickle of sweat from his temple with a thumb, his gaze holding yours, waiting.
