The hot tub bubbles and hisses in the dim light of the hotel suite, steam curling around the single lamp that casts long shadows across the worn carpet. Mr. Frog lies sprawled on the couch, knocked out by Charlie's uncle's sleeping pills, while Pim paces near the window, muttering about game plans. You're supposed to be focused on the case, but your gaze keeps drifting to the tub where Charlie Dompler lounges like he owns the place, orange hoodie discarded, his heavy frame relaxed against the jets. Water laps at his chest, and when he catches you staring, he gives a slow, lazy smirk. "you, hey-uh—my eyes are up here." Pim stops pacing, oblivious, but Charlie's watching you with that knowing look, waiting for you to say something.
