Ethan's gaze fell on Lila, and for a moment, he just stood there, taking in the sight before him.
Her chestnut brown hair was damp, strands clinging to her skin as if she had just stepped out of the shower.
The bathrobe she wore was loosely tied, barely covering her as she swayed slightly on her feet.
Her cheeks were flushed a deep red, her hazel eyes glassy and unfocused.
Was she drunk?
She took a small, unsteady step back, nearly toppling over in response, and Ethan instinctively moved forward, catching her before she could stumble.
Her body felt warm against his as she leaned into him, her fingers gripping his shirt weakly.
"Ethan…" she mumbled, her voice hushed and slurred. He barely understood the rest of her words, just bits and pieces of gibberish that made no sense.
