After a minute or so, the bathroom door opened and Anna stepped out.
I pictured her naked.
I remembered her body vividly.
Every inch.
Every subtle curve.
Everything about her.
But now?
There were new curves hidden under her clothes.
Going from woman toallwoman.
The gift of time for her…
And maybe the punishment of time for me.
Anna stood fully dressed and lifted her thumbs.
I grabbed for another small bottle of whiskey.
“Hot water?” I asked.
“Oh yeah. Really hot water. Funny how something like that you really don’t think about until it’s not there.”
“Cold showers and cold plunges suck,” I said.
“You take cold showers?”
“Sometimes. Or sit in a giant bucket of ice. Helps with muscles and whatever else. I don’t know if it actually works but I do what I’m told.”
Anna snorted.
“What?” I asked.
“Nothing.”
“Come on. Tell me. What?”
“Just hearing you say that.But I do what I’m told. You never do what you’re told.”
“I’m here right now, aren’t I? I’m talking to you, right? There are times I do what I’m told.”
“Okay, I’ll give you that. You win, Joe. Happy?”
Take your clothes off and let me in the shower with you and I’d be the happiest man in the world.
“Far from happy,” I said.
I downed the next small plastic bottle of whiskey.
“Want one?” I asked Anna.
“I’m not sure that will work.”
