| Oh, Rincon's laugh melted my heart. It's mirthful tunes sounded like the clinking of ice in a cold, tall glass tumbler filled with Mohito. | |
 | |  |
|
 |
 | |  |
| Yet after I removed my shirt and felt Rincon's hands upon my quivering shoulders, something was wrong. | |
 | |  |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
 | |  |
| "Rincon," I accused, "You have been toying with me. Your hands are not those of a brickmason. They are smooth as fluffernutter sandwiches!" | |
 | |  |
|
 |
 | |  |
| Rincon paused. His grip weakened as did the barrier between us. | |
 | |  |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
 | |  |
| "I will share my secret with you and you only," Rincon whispered into my ear, | |
 | |  |
|
 |
 | |  |
| "When I lay bricks, I wear gloves." | |
