Sweet little story. Felt like it needed a bit more to it, though. The development of the relationship between Ari and and Hector didn't feel that powerful, though. I also quite disliked Ari's character, even though I really wanted to like him. 
I was expecting a bit more from this, but it was a sweet, short read and perfect to kick off 2025 with!
