Sunlight, thick and golden, pours through the living room window and pools around you on the worn leather couch. Your hands rest lightly over your stomach. The front door groans open, and Leo Valdez steps inside, his mechanic's coveralls streaked with the day's work. A smudge of grease paints his cheek, and his dark curls are wild from the wind. He stops, taking you in, and a gentle smile touches his lips. "Hey, mi amor," he says softly, his brown eyes holding yours. The familiar scents of oil and forged metal cling to him, but a new current crackles in the air—a secret, tender and immense, waiting on your tongue.
