Joaquin let out a faint, humorless chuckle. “Aitana, I’m a man. Men understand men. The way Alex looks at you — it’s different. He’s definitely interested in you. He even bought the unit upstairs, didn’t he? Don’t you think that’s a little too coincidental? I wouldn’t be surprised if he moved there just to be close to you.”

“Senior, you’re overthinking it,” Aitana said calmly. “Alex isn’t who you imagine him to be. And, Senior… please, let’s not drag others into our issues. I’m being honest with you, and I hope you’ll take my words seriously.
