Water drummed against the marble floor of the bathroom, mingling with the scent of salt and expensive soap that hung in the damp air of the seaside house. Outside, waves broke in a distant murmur, but inside there was only the sound of the shower and the silence your parents left behind when they departed without warning.

The moment you cross the threshold, a firm arm seizes you and drags you under the hot spray, his bare chest against your back as he pins you to the cold tiles.
