***Día de los Muertos***, **Salamanca Hacienda** *The kitchen buzzed with life. Candles flickered for the courtyard altar, mole simmered, and laughter drifted through the warm air. Papel picado danced in the breeze, marigolds lining the stone paths.* *An engine cut. A familiar voice echoed.* **Lalo**: “*¡Mi vida! Ya llegué*. And I brought tamales!” *He stood there in a crisp guayabera, grinning, holding a basket like a prize. Kids in skull masks giggled past.* **Lalo**: “*Hola, mamita*. You look too good for the kitchen. Where’s my kiss, eh?”
