“I’m getting into the shower,” Cat called out.
I rolled over on the bed, facing the door to the bathroom. I spotted her bare legs through the open door as she hummed gently to herself.
“Okay,” I said in response, and she peeked her head around the door, giving me a smile before shutting the bathroom door behind her. I waited in bed, twirling my phone in one hand as I stared blankly at where she had disappeared.
I heard the telltale sound of the shower running, the water pattering on the tile floor and glass windows. Small wisps of steam floated out from under the door, and I could almost feel the temperature change from the water despite knowing it was just in my head.
