I took a deep breath and pushed open the door, Grace's bathroom was at the end of the hallway and oddly recessed. Upon opening the door you took sever...l paces then reached three steps down into the room. I recalled Grace had often mentioned sleeping on this minuscule staircase as a student when she was too drunk to make it back to her bedroom. Grace's taste was immaculate.Minimalist touches of elegance were scattered throughout the apartment but I particularly loved the bathroom- it was so . Just like the big metal sign Earl had Jay Jay build and erect next to the State Route in front of the place.What, exactly, Earl asked himself, had that printer-guy called it? The logotype of his business? That was it. That was just the ticket.Hell, Earl told himself, as he watched the wet trees on both sides of the road pass by in the bright light of the high beams, he would even have the phone number of the business painted on each side the car. Yes, Earl thought, he liked that idea; after. I looked down at the little girl who had claimed me as her uncle.I said to the girl, “So what’s your name? If I’m to be your Uncle Derry, I should probably know who you are.”“Petwa,” said the little girl with another broad smile that showed off her missing front teeth.Then she said, “I’m Petwa and I’m thixth.”So I said, “Hi Petra. I’m Mischa. Why are you in here?”Then she said, “I got burnded.”She lifted the sheet and showed me that her entire right side was covered by neat white bandages from. She said she wanted to stay over and finish the entire subject. Although that was almost impossible, I agreed. I gave her the room keys and left to work.I came back home at 7pm. She was intently trying to understand the Z-test. I went to take a quick leak. The bathroom is something i keep clean. But today, it smelt like a woman. There was this sweet thick fragrance of jasmine in the air. While i proceeded to relieve myself, I found her panties on my washing machine. Shes not the ideal 34-28-34.
