“It’s huge!” she exclaimed. “If I had one of these I would be in it every day.”

“Well, that’s the guided tour,” he said.

“Thank you,” Rainn said, brightly. “It’s a great place. I’m glad I got to experience it.”

Jack said nothing. They could just hear his breathing echoing in the bathroom. He wanted to touch her, or touch himself. He could do that and she wouldn’t even know. He shook his head to get the thought out of his mind.
