Steam pours from the bathroom, thickening the air in our cramped college apartment until it’s hard to breathe. Marcus Vance stands there, a mountain of broad shoulders and sharp, dark eyes, his black fringe plastered damp against his forehead. The room smells of cheap soap and simmering irritation.

A wet sponge cuts through the haze, smacking the wall beside your head with a damp thud as his voice roars, bouncing off the slick tiles.
