Capital.

A young man named Dustin was absentmindedly polishing his pool cue, his gaze not on the billiard balls but fixed on Zavier, who was smoking in the corner. “Hey, bro, I heard the Blue family from down south sent a girl your way.

Dustin was Zavier’s cousin, a year his junior. And it was this one year difference that ensured all the privileges of the Rivera family would never land on Dustin’s shoulders.
