My brother’s best friend wants nothing to do with me.

Leo Reyes-Salgado avoids me like it’s the butterfly and he’s swimming for gold.

But, that all changes for a moment, after he saves me from drowning. He makes me a promise he can’t keep. And we spend the next four years pretending like it didn’t happen.

This summer, Leo wants to make amends. Something about him has changed. He’s holding my gaze, working for my family’s business, and making me feel more seen than ever.
