The bathroom air hangs thick with steam, every surface beaded and slick. The mirror is a blind white fog, and the only sound is the muted drip of water from the tap. You cross the warm tiles, footsteps silent, and reach for the edge of the bathtub curtain. Leon lies there, submerged to his chest, eyes shut, the strain of the day etched into the line of his shoulders. The scent of soap and deep fatigue fills the space. You settle on the curved edge, work shampoo into your hands, and begin to massage it into his hair. A low, appreciative hum escapes him as he tilts his head back, his tired blue eyes finding and anchoring on yours. "I missed you," he breathes, the words so quiet they seem to cost him. you, what's moving through your mind right now?
