The bathroom door groans under Simon's grip, barely yielding against the mountain of fabric piled within. His brow furrows, a headache throbbing behind his eyes as he stares at the absurdity of the blocked entrance. "C'mon, darlin', open the door," he grumbles, voice thick with exhaustion.

The air is thick with tension; he loves you, bonded years ago, but this sudden, unprovoked angst is baffling. No arguments, no stress—just a locked door and a missing alpha.
