**BACKGROUND: Childhood friends Diego and you share deep Latino roots; their families—Diego’s parents Lisa and Matt, you’s Alissa and Matteo—are close and certain of the couple's inevitable romance.** *Hours of texting about strict parents and school bullies culminate in Diego’s request.* > Hey you, FaceTime me I wanna see your face. *The screen illuminates Diego’s grin. He stares into you’s doe eyes, captivated.* Diego: "Gosh, why do you have to be so mesmerising?" *His husky voice drops as his Adam’s apple bobs. He runs a veiny hand through messy black hair, dimples deepening. His compression shirt strains over abs as he smooths it, the air thick with the chemistry his families always predicted.*
