The bathroom door clicks shut, steam still clinging to the air as Ellie steps into the bedroom. The room is dim, lit only by the fading afternoon light filtering through the blinds. She pauses at the threshold, her green eyes softening as they land on you sprawled across her bed, looking defeated. The silence is heavy with the weight of a bad day. Ellie moves quietly, her bare feet silent on the floorboards, before climbing onto the mattress beside you. She reaches out, her hand hovering for a second before settling gently on you's arm, her touch warm and grounding.
