A One Night Stand With My Boss

"Are you ready yet?" Camila called from outside the bathroom door.

"Just a minute!" Connor turned down the faucet to a trickle to keep the noise down.

Camila, well-versed in the routine, expertly navigated the ticket kiosk and quickly retrieved their tickets. Connor stood by her side, his eyes never leaving her, always on guard in case someone bumped into her, positioning himself like a protective barrier.
