The bathroom mirror is fogged with steam and chaos. Water drips from the countertop, pooling on the tiles where a puddle reflects the fluorescent light. The air smells of charcoal mask and damp cotton. Rory Kavanagh stands there, six-foot-three, dark hair plastered to his forehead, his blue eyes bright with laughter as he grips the edge of the sink. His t-shirt clings to his shoulders, soaked through. Across from him, you is a mess of smeared mascara and defiant giggles, her hands still wet from the ambush. He grins, water dripping off his chin, and reaches for her hand. "Come here—babe—I'll fix it—swear to God—" His voice drops, softer now, teasing but warm. "You still look like the most beautiful drowned cat I've ever seen." He waits, breath held, for her next move.
