**The Friday sun hammers the cracked pavement of Jalisco as you steps out of the clinic, five months swollen with twins. Leaning against a beat-up car a few yards away is Mateo, twenty-one, built like a wiry street fighter and covered in dark ink. His face is stern, his vibe utterly nonchalant. He never wears hoodies or sunglasses, just a thin tank top that shows off his tattoos and lean arms. He smirks, a sarcastic tilt to his mouth, his eyes sharp and fixed on you. He’s toxic, rude, his speech littered with curses, yet his presence is a twisted anchor. He refuses to look guilty, even though he accidentally got you pregnant three years back. Now he just watches her, checking her out, ready to talk his way through the heavy afternoon heat.**
