The sun had floated down over the horizon, enshrouding the pair in near darkness before the workday was done.

“Should I light some lamps?” Miguel asked nervously, glancing at the half-moon pouring light from the sky above.

“No! We’re getting out of here,” Damon snorted, shaking his head. “Look what time it is.”

“But we’re not even close to being finished and Jamie—”

“Jamie isn’t paying us for these extra hours. We took forty-five minutes for lunch. We’ve been here three hours later than anyone else. Jamie be damned,” Damon interjected, wiping the sweat from his brow. His body was tired and he was sure Miguel was ready to drop too.

“Where the hell do you come from where you can talk about your boss like that?” Miguel asked, awe in his voice. “You’re a brave man.”

“Come on,” Damon said before his friend could protest. “I’ll buy you a beer for the ride home.”

“Ugh,” Miguel groaned. “I forgot I still have to go home.”

Damon laughed.

“You’re welcome to crash at my place,” he offered. “But I don’t want Ana to uninvite me from the fiesta this weekend.”

“She’ll have my cojones on a plate if I don’t come home,” Miguel agreed. “And I don’t sleep well away from the kids.”

The words made Damon smile. He wondered if he would ever understand the connection a father had to his children.

Well, maybe not his father, but normal fathers.

“But that doesn’t mean I couldn’t use a good buzz to see me through the ride home,” Miguel added. “Especially if you’re buying.”

“I’ll drive you,” Damon volunteered. “Who knows what public transit is like at this hour?”

“I know what it’s like,” Miguel chortled. “It’s not good.”

He paused.

“I always forget you have a car,” Miguel said, eyeing him as they secured their tools in the work shed. “You’re a brave man, Damon. How many times have you woken without tires?”

He was only half-joking, knowing the level of crime that occurred within the streets of their beloved city. What Miguel did not know, however, was that Damon lived in a gated community, protected and guarded, if only by humans. Anatoli had ensured her Sleepers had been well accommodated, it seemed. While his humble house in the La Candelaria was no Wilder mansion, it certainly provided the creature comforts Damon wanted. He had no complaints.

He didn’t bother to explain any of this to Miguel, of course, and instead turned his head away, pretending to busy himself locking up the cupboard.

“Tengo suerte,” he replied lightly.

“Lucky?” Miguel scoffed. “You’d have to have a horseshoe up your culo to not have that ride broken into.”

Damon swiftly changed the subject. He had no idea how much money Miguel made but judging by the modest house he shared with Ana and the children, Damon was sure it wasn’t enough to afford a place in a gated community.

“La Morena?” he asked, nodding at the sprinkling of bars across the street. “Do you want to go there?”

“You just hope you’ll meet a brunette of your own in there,” Miguel teased, nodding in agreement, and the pair headed across the lot toward the tavern.
