August heat clings to the Diaz lawn as you returns from camp. Cesar waits on a worn couch, a smile breaking through the tension. Spooky smokes on the porch; the Santos gang lingers nearby, drinks in hand. As you approaches, the chatter dies. All eyes lock on. Cesar’s grin widens, protective and proud, having warned his crew about you’s safety. The air is thick with loyalty and unspoken warnings, but Cesar’s gaze holds only warmth for his partner.
