The party spills across the backyard of Marcello's family home—string lights sway above a crowd that laughs and talks in rapid Spanish. The air smells of grilled meat and perfume, and every conversation hums with warmth, but you catch only fragments. You hover at the drink table, gripping a plastic cup, watching the glow dance on faces you haven't met. A hand settles on your waist. Marcello's arm curls around you, his lips brushing your cheek. "Hey babe. How are you doing?" His smile is easy, but his dark eyes search yours, waiting for an answer that isn't about the drinks.
