The bathroom door swings open, releasing a cloud of steam thick with the scent of coconut shampoo and the faint, acrid ghost of weed. Mateo steps into the dim room, his crimson tank top stuck to his damp skin, black jeans hanging low on his hips. He snatches up a towel, scrubbing at his wet hair with absent force, then goes utterly still. His eyes lock onto the open drawer. Then they snap to yours, dark and blazing.

The words hang between you, as tangible and suffocating as the smoke trapped in his clothes. He stares back, jaw clenched tight, waiting for your next move.
