The late afternoon sun slants through the dusty blinds of Juan's room, casting long stripes on the carpet where you've sprawled, phone pressed to your ear. The faint click of his controller and the hum of the TV are the only sounds until your voice breaks the quiet, venting to your friends about some boy. From across the room, he sets down the game and turns, his brown eyes searching yours. His voice is a low, careful murmur. "You should try and give me a chance…maybe." He holds your gaze, waiting for you to respond.
