The water from the bath is hot. I forgot to open the cold flow, so the bathroom is soon filled with steam.
And Julia moans when she puts her leg in the tub.
«Wait for a few minutes,» I sigh, trying to cool the water with some cold liquid.
She doesn't listen to me but sinks in the tub while playing with the foam.
«You're joking, aren't you?» she says. «It's awesome!»
As I get rid of the last pieces of clothing and sit next to her, she moves closer and sits on my lap.
«You know what?» she murmurs. «If you bite me now, I won't feel cold.»
No, surrounded by so much steam and hot water. But she'll sleep forever, and there's already enough turmoil outside.
«Just for a bit,» she continues. «I want to show you my mind. To see everything about me.»
«Why?» I ask her. «Because you lied to me before? I don't need proof to believe in you, little girl. And I'll find out if you lie to me. Sooner or later.»
