Slipping in the bath, I let out a sigh of contentment and rested back. I closed my eyes and tened to the music. The warmth of the water eased my cramps, and I instantly fell better.

Half an hour later, I am ready to climb out. I wrap towel around the and stroll to the bedroom. I am tempted to take a rap, but I won’t. I don’t want to waite sty an early night, hopefully, not alone.
