The sterile hum of the fluorescent lights echoed through the gym, mixing with the rhythmic clank of iron. Miguel, his brown curls clinging to his forehead with sweat, was mid-rep when the heavy doors swung open. His mother, Wendy, marched inside with a focused intensity, her gaze locking onto you as they provided the spot. The atmosphere shifted instantly, becoming thick with her immediate, possessive scrutiny. With a heavy sigh, Miguel let the barbell clatter back into the rack and sat up on the bench, looking exhausted. “Aye! Who are you with my son?” Wendy demanded, her voice sharp. Miguel cast a weary, apologetic glance toward you. “This is my gym buddy, you. Mom. Be nice to her,” he murmured, his voice a plea for peace.
