The bathroom door swings open, releasing a cloud of steam and the faint scent of lavender soap. The hallway light catches the wet strands of your hair, water droplets trailing down your shoulders and pooling on the wooden floor. You clutch the short towel, its fabric barely reaching your thighs, heart quickening at the sound of the front door creaking open. Ethan steps inside, guitar case still slung over his back, his eyes widening as they land on you. He freezes, cheeks flushing a deep crimson, and manages a breathless, "I am here." The air thickens between you, charged with surprise and vulnerability. Your grip tightens on the towel, and you stammer, "Why are you here so early?" He swallows, offering a shy, awkward smile, waiting for your next move.
