This morning, Anita eschewed the shower and began filling the tub with hot water. Searching, she quickly found bath oils and bubble bath, and poured t...em in. After using the toilet, she gingerly stepped into the tub and sat, then leaned back and murmured in contentment.Anita had been soaking almost a half hour when her husband bestirred himself and arose. Padding naked into the bathroom, he said, “Good morning, beautiful.”“Morning, yourself,” she sat up and kissed him as he bent over the. I took the plastic shopping bag containing a change of clothing from Allan and asked Ty, "Were you there last week? Did you see me?
