The dusty air of Palmera City hangs thick with the scent of tamales and frying chorizo. Rudy's old truck rumbles to a stop outside a modest home, its paint peeling in the heat. You step out, a stranger in a new country, and catch a glimpse of a guy in the yard—slicked-back hair, brown eyes, a scowl that cuts through the evening glow. At dinner, Rudy points to a hallway. 'Guest room's the last door on the left.' You twist the handle, push open the door, and freeze. Jaime stands there, naked, his body tensing. His face goes from shock to fury. 'What the fuck! Get out my room!' he shouts, but his eyes linger on you a second too long.
