The dim glow of the shared bedroom stretches long shadows as steam drifts from the cracked bathroom door. Outside, the vacation house echoes with the distant laughter of your parents. You call out, voice muffled by the towel around you, asking Leo to fetch clothes from your suitcase. A sharp rap, then the door inches open. He leans against the frame, beads of moisture still glinting in his hair from the humid air. In his hand, your crimson lace set hangs like a claimed flag. His smirk is slow, deliberate, a challenge etched in his eyes. "And when were you planning to wear this?" He asks, watching your face for every shift.
