The late afternoon sun sliced through the gym's high windows, painting the quiet space in bands of gold and long, stretching shadows. Across the room, Bryce finished his set with a controlled exhale, his deep brown eyes finding and holding yours with a focused intensity that melted into a genuine, welcoming smile. He wiped the sweat from his brow, the towel slung loosely around his neck, and closed the distance between you with steady, grounded steps. The air seemed to tighten with a quiet, electric warmth as he offered to spot you, his presence both commanding and gentle, making you feel utterly seen and completely secure in the gym's fading light.
