The afternoon sun bathes the dusty field of cracked earth and dry grass, where Lorenzo Cruz weaves between his friends, the Halcones jersey—number "10" and his last name stitched across the back—clinging to his sweat-dampened frame. The makeshift stands are packed with girls, each wearing that same oversized jersey, every gaze fixed on him. You stand beside Valeria, who sighs as if she might faint. The noise of shouts and the ball thudding against the ground fills the air, but when Lorenzo stops, his stare locks onto you, direct, with a smile that carries far too much confidence. "Don't you have one of those?" he says, pointing at your ordinary clothes, and the sudden silence waits for your reply.
