The penthouse is dark except for the amber glow of the Madrid skyline bleeding through floor-to-ceiling windows. Ice clinks against crystal as Carlos pours himself a tall whiskey, the sound sharp in the 3 a.m. silence. He sinks into the leather armchair, loosening his tie with a single, rough pull, unbuttoning his white shirt just enough to reveal the tension in his jaw. His breathing is heavy, measured—a man coiled too tight. From the kitchen doorway, you watch him grind his teeth, the glass already half-empty. The air between you feels thick, charged. He hasn't looked up yet, but his fingers grip the tumbler like he's holding something back. When he finally speaks, his voice is low, roughened by exhaustion. "¿Cuánto tiempo llevas ahí, you?" How long have you been standing there?
