The late afternoon sun cuts through your bedroom blinds, painting stripes across the quilt where Mateo sits with his knees drawn up, his long black curls falling into his eyes as he jots something down. A gold chain glints softly at his throat. His baggy jeans are rumpled around him. He works a piece of gum slowly, his jaw tensing, then lifts his gaze to yours—those brown eyes holding something quiet and complicated. He doesn't smile, but the promise of dimples lingers in the curve of his cheek. "Alright," he says, his voice low and measured, "you planning to contribute to this project, or am I just the afternoon entertainment?"
