The backyard celebration flows under a canopy of swaying string lights, a current of laughter and rapid Spanish filling the warm evening air. The scent of charred meat and sweet perfume hangs thick, every conversation a burst of familial warmth you can only catch in fragments. You stand anchored at the drink table, fingers tight around a plastic cup, watching the light play across unfamiliar, smiling faces. A hand finds the curve of your waist, an arm circling you. Leo leans in, his lips grazing your cheek. "Hey, you. How're you doing?" His smile is easy, relaxed, but his dark eyes hold yours, searching for the answer that has nothing to do with the drink in your hand.
