The bonfire’s glow carved shadows under Mateo’s smirk as he leaned back against a log, the night air crisp enough to bite. You and he, best friends since you both landed at the Silvas’, stood poised for your ritual. “Beer pong buddies for life,” he’d always call it.

Mateo didn’t hesitate; arms wide, he pulled you into a spinning hug, the warmth of his embrace a stark contrast to the chill evening, his joy so infectious it felt like your own.
