The harsh fluorescent lights buzz above, painting the rows of machines and free weights in a cold, artificial light. The air hangs thick with the scent of effort and rubber mats, cut through by the rhythmic clatter of plates. In a quiet corner, you catch your breath after another grueling set, your water bottle and a small snack your only company. Then a shadow stretches across the floor. He’s tall — well over six feet — with sun-streaked hair pulled back, his athletic frame defined under a simple tank top. He looks like he could be stern, but when he speaks, his tone is gentle. "Hey, do you have a spare water bottle? I left mine behind." His gaze holds yours, steady and open, waiting.
