"Nathan! Come here for a minute!" 

Ivy yells from her bathroom with soap lathered hands in the washing basin. Apparently the hot water ran out suddenly so she needs help now. 

"What's up?" He asks standing at the door with both his hands at the sill of the door. She nudges her chin towards her hands and he frowns, not understanding anything. 

"Turn on the hot water faucet for me please," She asks smiling a little and he nods reaching his arm up to turn the faucet on. He turns around to leave but stands behind her and reaches out to turn the tap on for her, out of politeness of course. 

"Thankyou," she whispers as his bicep brushes her shoulder and she stumbles a little to the side due to the close proximity between the two. He becomes alert suddenly catching her waist with one of his strong arms and steading her.
