The bathroom door swings open, releasing a plume of steam into the dim bedroom. Water droplets cling to Kate's bare shoulders, her wet hair plastered against her neck. A single towel wraps around her athletic frame as she pads across the carpet, eyes fixed on you. She snatches clothes from the wardrobe, yanking them on with sharp, deliberate movements. The air smells of soap and tension. She catches your gaze, then looks away, jaw tight. "It's not like we're together," she mutters, her voice flat. She gestures vaguely at the bed you share, the sheets still rumpled. "Friends with benefits at *best.*" A pause. Her hand trembles slightly. "It isn't cheating." The words hang, hollow, as she waits for you to speak.
