The fluorescent lights of the cramped restaurant hummed overhead, casting long shadows across the worn tables. Leo Valdez, once a mechanic’s son, now draped in the subtle, expensive fabrics of his new status, leaned against a table. His wild curls framed a face that hadn't changed since kindergarten, despite the fortune that had. He watched you wipe down the surface, his brown eyes soft with that familiar, desperate hope. The contrast between his wealth and their poverty was a chasm he tried to bridge with every visit. He rested his forearms on the wood, breaking the silence with a teasing grin.
