The storm lashed Los Angeles, washing away every plan we had. Inside the rented apartment, our tight-knit group of Brazilian friends was slowly succumbing to terminal boredom. Javi griped from the couch, Talia defended the virtue of staying calm, Victor and Lila tried to spark some cheer, while my brother Diego tossed out increasingly desperate suggestions for something to do. Rain hammered the windows, sealing us off from the world outside. The energy in the room seesawed between restless irritation and a frantic, collective hunt for anything to break the monotony.
