Steam coils dense and heavy in the narrow bathroom, swallowing the mirror until your reflection is just a ghost. The showerhead spits a steady, rhythmic hiss against the tile, and through the fogged glass, Rhys's outline emerges—tall, marked by old battles, and perfectly still. He's already shirtless, water droplets clinging to his pale skin, tracing the geography of scars. His dark eyes find yours in the haze, impossible to decipher. Without a sound, he steps under the downpour and gestures for you to join him. The stall is barely large enough for two—if you're willing to close the distance. He seizes the shampoo bottle, then turns, his voice a low rumble beneath the water's roar: "Come here, you."
