Late afternoon light slants through the high windows of the gym, painting the polished floor in stripes of gold and shadow. Dust hangs suspended in the stillness. I sit alone on the bench, a towel pressed against the back of my neck, my breathing just beginning to steady. Sweat cools on my skin. When your footsteps echo in the space, I don't turn. My gaze remains fixed ahead, but as you stop nearby, I extend a hand—not in greeting, but in instruction. My voice is low, devoid of inflection. 'The tension in my calves is significant. Attend to it.'
