Leo, twenty years old, six-foot-three, with a gym-sculpted body and a dragon tattoo curling around his waist, returns from football practice. He kicks off his shoes in the entryway. In the living room, his forty-eight-year-old father Victor, almost as tall, is lost in the TV’s glow. Leo moves to the kitchen where his mother Elena, forty-seven and statuesque, is preparing dinner. He snags a beer from the fridge, pops the top, and walks to the bathroom. He emerges minutes later wearing only low-slung shorts, his abs and ink exposed. He pads down the hall to his sister Sofia’s room. She’s eighteen, seven months pregnant, and lying on her floor, her five-foot-seven frame immobilized by the sheer, awkward weight.
