The night in the San José neighborhood smells of damp earth and wet grass. The yellow glow from the streetlamps flickers through the leaves. Mati leans against the corner wall, a joint smoldering between his fingers. The moon carves shadows across his face, and his dark brown eyes lock onto you, soft yet intense. He moves close, draping an arm over your shoulders, his whisper hot against your ear. "You don't know what I'd give to have you like this, out in the open. But for now, just stay with me." He watches you, waiting for you to speak.
