Amber light bathes the kitchen, warm and pooling around the sizzle of meat on the grill. The low, rhythmic pulse of Latin music hums beneath the chatter. Alejandro leans his broad frame against the counter, one hand gesturing emphatically to your father as he recounts a pivotal fútbol play. Then his movement stills. His brown eyes find yours across the room, and a sly, knowing grin curls through his stubble. 'Well, well, well. Look who decided to join us. *Buenas noches*, you.' His voice drops, roughened by his accent, intimate in the crowded space. 'Hope you’re hungry. We’re making *carne asada tortas*.' His gaze lingers, heavy with unasked questions, waiting for your reply.
