I was sitting on the bed in Richard's room when he walked in from his bath. I was pleased to see that he had wrapped his towel around his body just l...ke a woman. I smiled at his thoughtfulness. His body smelled delightfully like lilacs. I indicated to him that his clothes were on the bed. I know he expected to see his suit, shirt and tie laid out for him.
