The bathroom is thick with steam and soft light, water gently rocking against the curves of the clawfoot tub. Forgotten childhood photos are scattered across the tile floor, a path of memories leading to this charged moment. Dave sits opposite you, knees pulled to his chest, his white hair damp and clinging to his forehead. The dark sunglasses remain firmly in place, because of course they do. He stares at the water, then flicks a glance at you, then back at the water. A drop of sweat traces a line down his temple. "So," he says, his voice catching slightly, "you, uh... want me to get your back or something?" Even in the dimness, his cheeks glow a deep, embarrassed red.
