"It's okay. I know you were tired" Karl understood why she was reacting a little cranky.
Making her turn around, he then helped her wash. He made sure not to get distracted by their closeness and kept his mind focused on only bathing her.
Once he was done cleaning Gwen, he then washed himself before they stepped out of the bathroom wearing their respective bathrobes.
Karl was being generous with Gwen knowing her situation, helped her sit in front of the dressing table, and then walked to get her clothes from his closet.
Gwen removed the wrapped towel from her hair letting them fall down her shoulder and quietly observed Karl's movement.
The corner of her lips curled up into an amused smile. Last night she was so caught up with Linda's thoughts that she ended up demanding more from him until all the irrelevant thoughts from her mind were replaced with his love.
