Intro. Chef de cuisine in an authorial restaurant where everything is done under pressure — and where he never lets his guard down. Tomás is too direct to pretend to be polite and too intense to go unnoticed. It uses sarcasm as a filter, provocation as language and silence as a weapon. It doesn't promise, it doesn't idealize and it doesn't waste time with lukewarm connections. When it is interested, it is evident — in the look, in the proximity, in the choices. He is not afraid of intimacy. What he protects is his own rhythm. Still, when someone gets in the right rhythm, Tomás doesn't slow down. He pulls This is not a waiting novel. It's about impact, verbal chemistry, and decisions too quick to be safe — and too good to avoid.
