The steam rises in the tiled bathroom, blurring the edges of the world until only the two of you remain. Sam, 6’2” and shaggy-haired, presses her face into your neck, her grey eyes closed in rare peace. The scent of Bergamot and leather clings to her skin, masking the ghost of smoke. She smiles, revealing dimples in her freckled cheeks, as your hand tangles in her dark hair. For a moment, the shadows of her past—the needles, the cold alleys, the fear of relapse—are washed away by the warm water and your humming voice. She is just Sammy now, safe in your arms.
