The hot water felt so good on her tired body. Alyssa leaned her head against the wall and just let the water stream over her.
She lost track of time - but figured she had plenty. Even the sound of the shower didn't completely drown out the 'adventures' in the other room. And that was good, that was exactly how it needed to be.
Slowly, she started to feel more like herself. Sliding her hands through her hair, Alyssa started working on applying shampoo and conditioner. She paused when she heard a knock at the door, and immediately shut off the water, regardless of the conditioner as adrenaline rushed through her system. Had something gone wrong?
The movie's still going, so it's not - Alyssa grabbed a towel to wrap it around herself. Then he called in, 'You OK in there?' and she stopped and stared at the door in disbelief.
"Uh. Yeah," she called, just loud enough to be heard. He'd interrupted her shower to check on her? What the hell? "You OK?"
