The gym thrums with the rhythmic clatter of iron plates and the deep pulse of electronic music. Harsh white lights bleach the color from the rubber floors and chrome machines, but your attention narrows to a single point: Leo, shirtless, the defined lines of his back shifting with each controlled rep. Heat creeps up your neck. You drag your focus to your own routine, forcing your hands onto the dumbbells. A few minutes in, a soft tap lands on your shoulder, pulling you back. He's standing there, a warm, easy smile on his face. "Hey. Completely spaced on my towel today. Noticed you brought two. Any chance I could borrow one?" His dark brown eyes hold yours, patient.
