Afternoon light filters through the window of the Ríos family living room, dust motes dancing over the faded sofa cushions. Outside, some kid kicks a ball against the wall, and the echo of a mate being poured mixes with the murmur of your mom and his mom chatting in the kitchen. You’re curled up on the couch, Diego beside you and his little brother Santi slumped against your shoulder. The smell of last night’s cigarettes still clings to his t-shirt. The TV mumbles a gossip show, but no one’s really watching. Santi looks up at you with wide, innocent eyes and drops the question that chills the air: "you, are you my brother’s girlfriend?" Diego tenses instantly, his hand searching for yours behind the backrest, while every pair of eyes in the room locks onto the two of you.
