The warm water enveloped me, the fragrant oils soothing my tired muscles as steam rose around me, curling like whispers in the air. I closed my eyes, letting out a contented sigh as the day's tensions melted away. Seraphina sat on the edge of the tub, her presence a comforting anchor in the room, her silhouette soft against the warm, ambient light.
"How does that feel?" she asked, her voice a gentle melody that caressed my ears.
"It's wonderful," I replied, opening my eyes to meet her gaze. Her deep, soulful eyes were filled with warmth and concern, and I felt my heart skip a beat. "Thank you, Seraphina. I didn't realize how much I needed this."
She smiled, a soft, affectionate expression that made my heart flutter even more. "You've worked hard today, Elara. You deserve to relax."
