CHAPTER 10
"Yes!" The big tub was all Sara needed to see. She had hot water filling the small pool in no time. She retraced her steps back into the room, and grabbed her clothes out of her bag. Now for the first time in days, she was going to have a bath on dry land.
By the time she got back into the bathroom, the water was at a good enough level for her, so she shut off the valve. She sat on the side of the tub and felt the water. Hot enough to boil her pains away. She stood up and stripped her clothes away, letting them fall carelessly to the floor.
She retrieved her mp3 player from the bathroom counter, put the ear buds in hear ears, and climbed in. There was a towel rack up above the tub, so she carefully clipped the tiny player to it, so not to allow it to fall in the water and be ruined.
When finally she was ready to relax, she sunk down into the tub, pressed play and listened to the music. With her eyes closed she relaxed her body and allowed the heat of the water to seep into her every muscle.
Knowing her habits, he could finally get off of the balcony. This was it. He slid the sliding glass door open slowly, as not to make any noise, and stepped into the room for the first time since Sara was in his presence.
