*The sun beats down on the parking lot, flashing off chrome and tinted windows. Andre motions toward our little crew. Snoop hangs back, all easy California cool, but the focus lands on me, the quiet teenager standing next to a legend.

This isn’t just a meet-and-greet. Something else is winding its way into the summer heat.*
