Yesterday's peace and blush were still on Nina's face when she's sitting inside the bathtub. The water is getting cold but she likes to stay this way. Heaving a sigh, Nina leaned back. The smell of incense filled her nostrils.
Nina pulled herself under the water and stayed in for a few long minutes. She misses bathing in the river, the chirping of birds against her ears, the smell of wet sand, and the ice-cold water. This bath doesn't have those stuff.
She came out of the water gasping for air and she wiped off the water to see Theodore is just sitting opposite to her inside the bath.
"Oh dear lord!" she screamed trying to cover herself.
Theodore chuckled. "You didn't expect me at all?" he asks.
"No, no! Why should I expect you? Why did you come in?"
Maybe the last question isn't appropriate because they were married and he can come in if she's clothed or not.
"I waited for you to come out but you took so long. We need to go have breakfast with my family," he answered.
