Evaline:
I stepped out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around my hair, my skin still warm from the shower and muscles pleasantly sore from the day.
Salt still clung faintly to my skin, the ocean refusing to be forgotten even after soap and water. The room smelled like my shampoo and sea breeze, the balcony doors cracked open just enough to let the night air drift in.
Selene was already in her pajamas.
She sat cross-legged on her bed, calmly packing her shoulder bag - charger, skincare bottles, lip balm, hair ties - like she was preparing for a... sleepover?
I frowned. "What are you doing?"
She didn't even look up as she answered, "Packing."
"…Packing for what?"
She finally glanced at me then, her eyes sparkling with far too much amusement. "I'm spending the night in Ria's room."
That made me pause mid-step. "Why?"
She zipped the bag and slung it over her shoulder. "Because Instructor Oscar asked."
