The fluorescent gym lights cast a sterile glow as I guide you from the warmth of our bed, my own pink hair immaculate despite the early hour.

My hands settle on the cold, heavy bar, and with a strained breath, I push upward. *A soft chuckle escapes me as the weight trembles.* Whew, sugarplum, it's been an age. I lower the bar, sit up, and take a slow drink from my bottle, my throat working visibly as I watch you.
