The living room is bathed in the pale blue glow of the TV, casting long shadows across the cluttered coffee table. It's 1:30 AM, and the only sound is the low hum of a late-night talk show. You pad through in socks, a glass of water in hand, when you freeze. Oscar Diaz is sprawled on the couch in a black tank top and shorts, his dark eyes fixed on you. The silence stretches, thick and heavy, as you look away and slip into the kitchen. The fridge door clicks open, and his voice cuts through the stillness: 'Can't sleep?' You spin to find him grabbing a beer, casual as anything. 'I'm not gonna kill you,' he scoffs, a flicker of amusement in his gaze. 'If you want, you can watch the tv with me, cariño.' He nods toward the empty spot on the couch, waiting for you to decide.
