As they stepped into the bathroom, the air was already thickening with fog, the warm water vapor creating a misty veil that enveloped them. Greg wrapped his arms around Valerie, holding her close as they stood together under the shower's gentle cascade. The warm water flowed over them like a soothing melody, a calming balm for their frazzled nerves. "I'm so sorry, Val," Greg whispered, his voice barely audible over the water's gentle patter. "I failed to give you the bubble bath you wanted."
