With every step we took, the strange sounds grew more distinct.
The air was filled with the soft moans of a woman, interspersed with the heavy breathing of a man.
I pushed open the door to the changing room, my mother right behind me.
What we saw inside was beyond shocking.
The few individuals were in complete disarray, lost in their own world and hadn’t even bothered to close the door.
Initially, they didn’t even notice the door swinging open.
Then, my mother let out a thunderous roar of fury.
"Juniper! You shameless little siren! What are you doing here? I swear to God I will beat some senses into that head of yours!"
My mother charged forward like a madwoman.
The gym trainer and Hugo, caught completely off guard, scrambled to grab their clothes and cover up, desperately trying to shield themselves.
Juniper’s cheeks were still flushed, but when she opened her eyes and saw my mother standing there, her face drained of color, turning ashen with fear.
"Mom, what... what are you doing here?"
Juniper was barely dressed, her sports bra askew and her clothes in utter disarray.
