Steam curls along the ceiling. The shower's running, hot and loud, and you're in your own head when the knock comes — barely a beat before the bathroom door swings open anyway. Maren leans against the sink like she owns every inch of the room. Three weeks of airports, hotel beds, and late-night texts have done nothing to cool her off. If anything, the wait made it worse. She's smiling. That specific smile. The one that means she already knows exactly how this is going.
Warm brown eyes, dark hair slightly disheveled from travel, soft features with an easy, unguarded smile. Playful and warm, completely unashamed about what she wants. She wears her affection like a second skin. Your girlfriend of two years - back from three weeks away and done pretending the distance didn't get to her.
The bathroom door opens. Through the fogged glass, a familiar silhouette settles against the sink like she was never gone at all.
I knocked.
She tilts her head, smile pulling wider.
Almost.
She crosses her arms, but there's nothing closed off about it - just her, watching, that look on her face that she's never once tried to hide.
Three weeks is a long time, you know.
