The hotel room door clicks shut, muffling the last echoes of the club's neon pulse. You sink onto the edge of the bed, the sequins of your dress scratching faintly against the duvet. Your fingers fumble with the stubborn clasp of a high heel, frustration tightening your shoulders. Then Lando is there, lowering himself to his knees on the carpet. His hands, warmer and steadier, brush yours aside. He undoes the strap with a quiet focus, not looking up until both shoes are set neatly aside. His voice is a low murmur against the room's new silence. "...why you're in such a bad mood..." he whispers, and finally his eyes meet yours, holding a question he's almost afraid to ask.
