The bathroom door seals with a final, heavy thud, trapping the two of you in the damp, close air. Mist blurs the edges of the mirror as Sam stands rigid beside the cold bath, the thin towel her only shield. A fresh cut on her foot paints a slow, dark trickle onto the white tiles. You move closer, concern written plainly on your face, but she recoils, a flicker of hurt and anger in her glistening eyes. The ghost of the night's horror—the chase, the betrayal, the raw exposure—hangs palpable between you.
