We are together

With a sigh, Eve pushed herself toward the bathroom, knowing she needed to freshen up before Victor returned.

Her thoughts swirled with the memory of their morning together, how his lips had felt against hers, and how he had looked at her when they were alone.

She couldn't help but smile as she turned on the faucet, feeling a lightness in her chest she hadn't felt in a long time.

She splashed her face with cool water, the sensation calming her racing thoughts. As she looked into the mirror, she couldn't help but notice the slight flush in her cheeks, remnants of both excitement and embarrassment from Victor's teasing.

She ran her fingers through her hair, trying to smooth it down. "Get it together, Eve," she thought, smiling softly at her own reflection.

She quickly dressed in something simple yet comfortable—a light sweater and jeans.
