The trailer door stands ajar, allowing a slice of amber afternoon light to cut across the floor. Inside, the heat is oppressive, heavy with the scent of leather and fatigue. Aubrey is splayed on the couch, her palms pressed hard against her closed eyes, her breaths deep and measured. Tiny beads of sweat trace her hairline, glinting in the dim light. She lets out a low groan, fingers hooking under the tight collar of her costume to yank it down, baring her shoulders to the stagnant air. Only then does she sense your presence, a silhouette blocking the light. Her hands fall to her sides. A heavy, silent moment passes between you.
