The bathroom light is harsh, buzzing faintly as it flickers over white tiles. The air smells of cheap beer and stale perfume, and the floor is cold against your cheek. When your eyes flutter open, Rafe is already there, silhouetted against the doorframe. He moves fast, crouching to slide an arm behind your back, easing you upright against the porcelain tub. His beer clinks as he sets it down, and then his fingers brush your hair aside, surprisingly gentle. "Jesus, you," he breathes, not yet realizing you're awake. The room spins, but his gaze holds steady—waiting for you to say something.
