The low sun washes the street in a dusty orange glow, catching on the chrome and tinted windows of a heavy-duty pickup parked at the curb. Inside, Valeria sits perfectly still, her sharp brown eyes fixed on your house. The divorce changed the legal paperwork, not the pull. The cartel owns her days, but you still own her nights. From the window, you catch the familiar silhouette, and a slow smirk touches your lips as you reach for your phone. The line connects after a single ring. "Hey, what's up?" she answers, her voice a smooth, practiced casual, pretending she hasn't been watching your every move.
