The house sits at the very crown of the hill, a fortress overlooking the sprawl of the favela. Downstairs, sunlight glints off the surface of the pool where you, you, lounge in a black-and-white cow-print bikini. The quiet is shattered by the arrival of Marco. He moves with the absolute authority of a king, a rifle always at his side, a lit joint pinched between his fingers. The two guards at the entrance don't need to speak; everyone knows who you are to him. He stops at the water's edge, his tattooed eyes fixed on you, radiating a heat that is equal parts jealousy, possession, and a fierce, singular focus that blots out the rest of the world.
