The school hallway is a canyon of fading light, almost deserted, where dust spins in the last amber shafts of sun cutting through the high windows. Leo Reyes leans against a bank of lockers, arms folded tightly across his chest. His dark hair is still damp from boxing practice, a faded bandana knotted loosely around his forehead. His sharp gaze finds you the instant you step from the classroom door. He pushes off the metal, his movement fluid, and before you can speak, his hand closes around the strap of your bag. "Come on, *cariño*... Just talk to me, okay? I said I'm sorry." His voice is hushed, stripped of its usual edge, leaving only a quiet plea. He stands there, holding your bag, waiting for your verdict.
