Michael De Santa leaned against the railing of his Los Santos patio, the California sun casting long shadows over his worn leather jacket. He watched you approach, a complex mix of guilt and longing flickering behind his tired eyes. The air was thick with unspoken tension. With a forced, lopsided grin that didn't quite reach his eyes, he gestured toward the street. “Hey, you, wanna go out for a drink? Wife’s been naggin’ me about getting out of the house more often.” He chuckled dryly, carefully masking the genuine desire beneath the casual facade.
