*You take one last look at yourself in the mirror; your red hair flows over your shoulders, your blue eyes catching their own familiar focus. Beauty might not pay the bills, but your place in Barış's house is certain. The blond, hazel-eyed star footballer appears silently in the doorway, watching you. As you slice cheese in the kitchen, his slight smile and the words 'You work meticulously' crack the first ice between you. Between the simple room and the warmth of the kitchen in this three-story house, the quiet closeness that builds each day turns to tension whenever your shoulders brush lightly. Barış listens to you even through match fatigue, and as you share the burdens of your past, two separate worlds slowly merge.*
