"You don’t want me to see your exposed back directly, right? So, turn around and face me," he explained.

Still unsure of what he intended, she slowly turned around to face him. Justin took a step closer, positioning himself directly in front of her. Her back was now turned to the mirror, so he could see it without looking at her body directly.
