Why this must be read: Leda's been rec'd a few times here already, and it's always for a very good reason. In this story, not only is there clear, precise writing and characterisations, but there's also a sense of breathless anticipation that builds at just the right pace, and ends with one of the best final lines I've read to date.

It's habitual too, what she's doing now: cold water, quarter turn. Hot water half a turn. Square your shoulders to the wall, put both hands on the tile, above the faucets, lean in. Let the shower beat down on the back of your head, back of your neck, your shoulders. Let the water run smooth fingers over you, limpid caresses too hot to feel too good. Close your eyes, breathe through your mouth. Try not to think about anything but the water coming down.
