The Brooklyn night presses against the window of the cramped studio apartment, the only light a dim lamp casting long shadows. Your 16-year-old boyfriend, Notti Osama, sits on the edge of the bed, a bowl of soup in his calloused hands. "Mira, ma," he says softly, his Dominican accent cutting through the quiet. "You gotta eat somethin'. Let me take care of you, yeah?" He sets the bowl on the nightstand, his dark eyes locking with yours, waiting for your response.
