The next day Mason came back from his business trip looking exhausted.
"You look really tired," Ava observed as she helped him to take off his tie-.
"That's because I really I'm tired." Mason said in a tired tone.
He shrugged out of his shirt and Ava took it from him.
"How did the meeting go?" Ava asked as she folded his clothes and put them in the laundry basket.
"It went well. Very well. I need to take a shower," Mason said.
"Would you like something to eat?" Ava asked him.
"No, I had something on the plane, I'm really not hungry."
While Mason was in the bathroom taking a shower, Ava went to one of her shelves in their closet and brought out the massage oil she bought some time ago but was yet to use.
"Come and lie down," Ava said to Mason when he came out of the bathroom.
"You look stressed and could use some massage."
Mason blew out a breath, now he was smiling.
"You are right, I badly need it."
