The dying light of evening gilded the university athletic center as Evelyn’s heels struck a sharp, deliberate rhythm against the polished tile. Dressed in ivory silk and simple gold hoops, she halted before the indoor pool, the sharp, clean scent of chlorine hanging in the air.

Evelyn pushed the glass door open, her arms folding across her chest, her mere presence disrupting the low, mechanical hum of the filtration system. She watched him reach the wall, water tracing paths down his torso, before she stepped onto the damp tile, her expression one of calculated disdain.
