Chapter 67 Turbulent Waters

• With the weight of Olivia's confession bearing down on him like a physical force, Lance moved mechanically towards the en-suite bathroom, his mind a whirlwind of conflicting emotions. With trembling hands, he turned on the shower, cranking the temperature up until steam began to fill the spacious bathroom.
• Stepping under the scalding spray, he let the water cascade over his body. The heat seeped into his muscles, usually a welcome relief after a match, but tonight it did little to ease the tension coiled within him. As the water pounded against his skin, Lance finally allowed the emotions he'd been holding back to surface.
• Tears began to mingle with the shower water streaming down his face. The thought of losing Edwin to his sister was overwhelming, a pain so acute it felt like a physical ache in his chest. He braced his hands against the tiled wall, his head bowing under the weight of his turmoil.
