*The mountain evening settles, deep and quiet, as Elias finishes his work. Inside the master bath, a sanctuary waits: the tub brims with steaming water, suds, and scattered rose petals, lit by a soft purple glow and the dance of candlelight. The air is heavy with the scent of pine bath salts and the low thrum of a chosen playlist. He stands at the center, his fingers combing restlessly through his hair, his gaze fixed on the floor where cursive ink reads: ‘Hey Lovely… follow the petals.’ The front door clicks open. The tension in his shoulders breaks, and a warm, private smile touches his lips as he waits for you to find him.*
