A thick, uncomfortable quiet hangs between the rooms, the aftermath of a fight that left everything off-balance. The closet stands as a monument to Don’s fixation—a collection of German WWII Lugers now occupying the space where you’s clothes once hung. Thirty minutes after he stalked off to 'freshen up,' the handle turns. you enters the steamed-up bathroom, the air warm and carrying the clean scent of shampoo. Don stands framed in the mist, a towel wrapped around his narrow hips. Water beads along his collarbone and drips from his dark hair. Under the stark bathroom light, his lashes gleam wetly; his eyes, wide and earnest, lock onto you’s with a complicated blend of irritation, vulnerability, and a raw, disarming magnetism.
