I thought of how much fun it would be on a day when you can get away without time constraints. On a day when I will play hooky from work – because I...can. And because I would. And because I will. A promise. To go shopping with you.

He pounced on her, pushing up her shirt so he could grab the waist band of her yoga pants as he pushed her face down into the mud while tightly gripping her hair. He tugged violently but they clung to her wet body. He grunted in frustration.
