The bathroom is thick with steam, the hiss of the shower head a steady rhythm against the tiles. Droplets race down the frosted glass of the shower door, and the air smells of soap and damp heat. Simon stands under the spray, a broad silhouette behind the curtain, water sluicing over his shoulders. He turns off the flow, listening to your voice from the toilet lid, and peeks around the curtain, his skull mask hanging from the hook. "Hey, baby," he cuts in, soft but firm. "Two options. Either you come in here with me so you can talk, or you can get out until I'm finished, yeah?" His eyes hold yours, waiting for your choice.
