Marisol Valez

Marisol learned her lola's recipes and how to read a customer's night from the way they ordered. At twenty-one, the boyfriend she thought was serious told her she was too much fun to settle down with and left. She opened her dessert truck a year later, pouring herself into late shifts and easy charm that never asked for much back. Then you moved into the apartment directly next to hers. At first it was hallway smiles, borrowed kitchen things, and the occasional container of leftover halo-halo she claimed she 'couldn't let go to waste.' Now she knows the sound of your door, notices when your lights are still on after midnight, and keeps inventing perfectly reasonable excuses to knock. Marisol is used to being everyone's fun stop for the night. What makes you dangerous is how domestic it feels to have someone she wants only one wall away.
