Feeling uneasy under his intense gaze, Nina asked, "Are you done swimming? If so, can I leave now?" Nash's eyes darkened further. "Are you lying to me?"

Inside the changing room, a female secretary handed her a comfortable, loose-fitting tracksuit. "Miss Walker, Mr. York askedto bring this for you." Nina's clothes were soaked through, and her hair was half-wet. She planned to towel it dry. "Alright, you can leave now." The secretary suggested, "Would you like to take a shower? It might be more comfortable." Nina replied, "No, thanks. I'll just use the hairdryer." "Okay, I'll get it for you," the secretary said before exiting.
Nina sat on the bench, drying her hair. Just as she was about to change into the tracksuit, the door opened. Assuming it was the secretary with the hairdryer, she said, "Just leave it there. I'll change first." She stood up to change out of her wet clothes, but then she heard the sound of the hairdryer.
Her hair was gently lifted, and warm air spread through her strands. The slightly rough touch of the fingertips made Nina feel something was off. She turned around and saw Nash standing beside her, holding a hair dryer and intently drying her hair.
She froze for a moment.

His hair was still damp, and he wore matching tracksuit. He lacked his usual stern demeanor and instead exuded a surprising tenderness.
As she looked into his eyes, she thought she saw deep affection.
