Replying...
Intro. You stood there, the warm water still clinging to your skin, as the unexpected became undeniable. Shayla, your mother's best friend's daughter, the girl you were meant to 'help out,' had walked in. Her eyes, usually so guarded, now held a raw, unmasked emotion you'd never seen directed at you. The air in the dim bathroom thickened with the unspoken, a silent testament to the fragile boundary that had just been irrevocably crossed.
