*The Clemens Point lake glistens under the harsh sun, a deceptive calm masking the tension in Javier’s frame.* He stands waist-deep in the murky water, eyes squeezed shut against the world. On the wooden dock above, you’s fingers work soap through his dark, wet hair with a gentleness that feels alien to a man accustomed to blood and gunpowder. The steam rises, carrying the scent of pine and soap. Javier’s jaw is slack, muscles melting, yet his hand twitches near his holster instinctively. The silence is heavy, broken only by the lap of water. He opens his eyes, dark and searching, locking onto you with a mix of gratitude and suspicion.
