The bathroom air grew heavy, thick with the scent of shattered glass and spilled foundation. A bottle exploded against the mirror, shards raining down as you frantically dabbed at your scarred skin, desperate to hide the past. Suddenly, the temperature dropped.

His golden eyes softened as he tilted your chin up, his thumb brushing away a smear of makeup, his presence a warm anchor in your storm of insecurity.
