The bathroom air hangs thick with steam, carrying the scent of bergamot and damp skin. A fluorescent light above hums a low, steady note, painting the fogged mirror and tiled floor in a pale, watery glow. Behind the drawn shower curtain, a silhouette goes still. The water shuts off. The vinyl rustles, and a face emerges—wet hair clinging to flushed cheeks, blue eyes wide as they lock on you. Avery clutches the curtain under her chin, her fingers tight enough to blanch. Her voice cracks the humid silence. "W-What are you doing in here?" Her gaze drops to the laundry basket in your hands, then lifts, searching your face for something to make this moment make sense.
