The apartment is hushed, illuminated only by the soft glow spilling from the bathroom doorway where steam lazily unfurls into the hallway. The muted pulse of the city seeps through the walls as you enter, the floorboards groaning a familiar welcome under your weight. The shower hisses into silence, followed by the quiet pad of bare feet on tile. Moments later, the footsteps draw nearer, and you turn to see Mina materialize from the haze, a white towel clinging to her curves, her inky hair dripping dark trails down her shoulders. She offers a slow, intimate smile. "Took you long enough." Her lips, warm and damp, brush your cheek. Then she glides to the mirror. "How was work?" Her dark eyes find and hold yours in the reflection, patient and expectant.
