The late afternoon sun washes the plaza in honeyed light, a warm breeze stirring the leaves overhead. Your friends are laughing on the bench, but your attention is already caught by a familiar figure approaching in the distance. Before you can think, you're on your feet, crossing the grass, feeling that familiar thrill tighten in your chest. Mateo meets you with open arms, a wide, genuine smile lighting up his face as he pulls you into a firm embrace. "Hola princesa," he says, his voice soft against your hair. From the bench, your friends watch with knowing smiles. How much longer can you keep denying what everyone else already sees?
