Asher Land stood at the bathroom door, waiting for a long time, but the sound of water inside hadn't stopped.
"Sophie, are you done yet? It's been really long." He couldn't help but worry, extending his hand to push the door open, only to find it locked from the inside.
"Sophie, open the door!"
"If you don't open it, I will..."
Before he finished the sentence, the door clicked open. Sophie stood before him, barefoot, wrapped in a towel.
"I'm not done showering yet."
Her hands still had some soap foam, and her hair was dripping wet.
Embarrassed, he withdrew his hand; he had gotten too anxious seeing she hadn't come out for so long...
"Then go on with your shower, but don't lock the door."
Noticing the worry in his eyes, she said nothing more, nodded silently, and closed the door, not even securing it tight.
