Sarah is in the shower. She is looking at the floor with top of her head leaning on the shower wall. Her arms are spread with palms on the wall just above her head. With legs slightly parted, she has a good balance and that allows her to close her eyes and focus on the water which is gliding down her body.
Sarah usually imagines that all her stress and worries are being washed away like that… traveling with water from her head, down her neck, back, legs… and disappearing down the drain. And this works. Eventually she convinces herself that her stress is gone, and her mind is ready to start anew… and if stress comes back, that only means she needs another shower. Maybe…
She is not certain about many things anymore. So maybe even this technique is faulty. Because no matter how much she stays in the shower, horrible feeling of being rejected is not possible to wash away.
And she is missing him so much that it hurts. She felt her eyes burning.
