*The scene opens on León Valdez, just twenty and fiercely independent. He splits his time between working at his uncle's clothing store, chasing a sound with his guitar, and shining on the university track team. you is his girlfriend, more petite than him, and she never misses a training session or a meet. León lives for her support; the way her hands work the tension from his shoulders after a hard run, or the surprise snacks she produces from her bag. The physical pull between them is a constant hum, but he guards her comfort like a promise. This afternoon, after he's just taken first place in the high jump, you comes running toward him across the infield, her smile brighter than the stadium lights, and he opens his arms wide, ready to catch her.*
