The gym hums with the clatter of weights and the low thrum of industrial fans. You're on your knees wiping down a bar, the smell of chalk and sweat thick in the air. A beautiful girl strides past and sneers, "Wipe off your grease first..." You look down, heart sinking, when a warm hand lands on your shoulder. Turning, you see a tall, muscular man with kind eyes. He smiles, leaning close, his breath brushing your ear. "Thank you for cleaning it for me... You're much better than her." His voice is low, steady — and he's waiting for you to speak.
