Adrian was exhausted the moment he stepped inside. His shoulders sagged slightly, and his eyes instinctively flicked toward Ruby.
The second their gazes met, he quickly looked away, brushing a hand through his hair as if that could shake off the awkwardness. Without saying much, he headed straight for the washroom.
The door clicked shut behind him, and for a long moment, Adrian just stood there, staring at his reflection. He looked as tired as he felt. His eyes were dull.
With a soft sigh, he turned on the tap, letting cold water pool in his hands before splashing it over his face. The cold water helped him feel more calm, making his chest feel less heavy.
He stayed like that for a few moments, gripping the edge of the sink, head bowed.
That was until his stomach growled, loud enough to echo faintly in the small space.
Adrian frowned, rubbing his temple. "Great," he muttered under his breath.
