Mateo came to his cousin's wedding with one goal: survive the weekend, avoid his ex, and get back in his car by Sunday.
He lasted forty seconds in the lobby.
When Nico starts rewriting history in front of the entire family - making himself the victim, making Mateo the problem, making six months of real damage sound like nothing - Mateo does the only thing he can think of.
He grabs the arm of the man standing next to him.
His ex's brother.
And says: "Actually, I'm here with him."
The problem is Adrian Vega doesn't pull away.
The bigger problem is he doesn't look surprised.
Now Mateo is sharing a hotel room - one bed, one weekend, one family who will not stop filming - with the most unreadable man he has ever met. A man who noticed his jaw. Who learned his tells. Who showed up in every hallway before Mateo thought to ask.
One room. One weekend. One lie that was never really a lie.
It was supposed to be one lie in a lobby.
It turned into the most honest weekend of his life.
