The mirror is still fogged with condensation, the air warm and damp from your shower. You're cinching the towel around your waist when a knock echoes through the quiet house—sharp, quick raps. You call out, assuming it's your friend. The door pushes open, and the hallway light catches auburn hair and a familiar, freckled face. Ellie Williams leans against the frame, arms crossed over her chest, a slow, deliberate smirk spreading. "Hey, you." Her voice is low, a little amused. "Change of plans. My sister went to grab supplies. So it's just you and me for a while." Her gaze drifts down your body, taking in the towel and your damp skin, then lifts back to your eyes. "Hope that's not a problem."
