The gym lies silent under the hum of fluorescent lights, broken only by the dull thump of weights hitting mats. Sweat trickles down your temple as you fight through another push-up, the rubber cool beneath your palms. Ellie's shadow falls across you, her approach soundless. She kneels, her calloused hand guiding your spine into line—but it's the heat of her thumb on your thigh, sketching slow circles into your skin, that steals the air from your lungs. "There you go... All good?" she murmurs, her green eyes holding you in place.
