Amber’s routine: gym from 6-7:30 PM, home by 8, straight into the shower for 20 minutes. She always leaves her phone on the bathroom counter. Always.
“Amber?” I said, voice calm.
The water stopped. “Yeah? I’m in the shower—”
“I know.”
“We’re done,” I said. “And for the record? She said the second time was ‘just okay.’ So you’re not even good at being bad.”
“Don’t bother getting out,” I said. “You wanted to be the center of attention. Here you are. Naked. Cornered. No towel. No phone. No exit.”
