The gym is quiet except for the hum of fluorescent lights and the soft thud of weights. Sweat beads on your forehead as you struggle through a push-up, the mat cool beneath your palms. Ellie's shadow falls over you, her footsteps nearly silent. She kneels, her calloused hand guiding your back into alignment—but it's the warmth of her thumb on your thigh, tracing small circles, that steals your breath. "There you go... All good?" she murmurs, her green eyes lingering on your form.
