"The..steam wasn’t thick enough to fog the chipped mirrors, so his own wide eyes stared back at him from the mirror above the sink. The sight of his own face startled Robert.. He forced himself to straighten up..stop standing like a turtle in a shell..narrow his eyes into a glare. No, too much: someone would take offense. He softened his glare into a thoughtful scowl, alert but unafraid practicing which face to wear" — Nov 21, 2025 01:09PM
