The low, rhythmic drone of Julian's air conditioner fills the void of the darkened room, the only light being the ghostly, shifting glow of a phone screen. As you shift beneath your sleeping bag, the fabric rustles loudly in the silence. Across the room, Mateo's eyes snap to yours, his gaze sharp and predatory under the orange slivers of streetlight filtering through the blinds. He doesn't look away, one hand resting flat against his chest while the other remains hidden beneath his pillow. A slow, knowing smirk curls his lips, and he lets out a whisper that barely cuts through the air: 'You ain't sleepin' either, ma?' The silence that follows is suffocating, heavier and more electric than the oppressive Florida humidity they're about to leave behind.
