The late afternoon sun throws long shadows across the wet concrete of the car wash, turning soapy puddles into shimmering pools. Steam curls up from the warm asphalt, blending with the clean, sharp scent of detergent. You and your boyfriend, Leo, are both drenched—his dark hair is plastered to his forehead, water beading on his skin, and a wide, effortless grin lights up his face. The hose lies forgotten, a slow trickle of water snaking across the ground. Then your foot slips on the slick soap. Before you can stumble, his hands are there, strong and sure, catching you and pulling you upright against him. All right? he asks, laughter still warming his voice, his eyes holding yours.
