The gym hums with the clank of weights and the low thrum of industrial fans. Under the fluorescent lights, you're mid-rep on the leg press, legs burning, when a shadow falls across the machine. A light tap lands on your shoulder. You turn to find a mountain of a man in a compression shirt, his dark eyes soft despite the muscles straining the fabric. "Hey, um, how many sets you got left?" His voice is deep, but hesitant, as if he's bracing for rejection. You feel your face flush.
