Bram had the meal well underway when he heard Rags whining out in the hall. She was outside the bathroom door.

“Come on, Rags,” he said. “Leave her alone. She’s taking a bath.”

But the dog was insistent and kept clawing at the bottom of the door. In fact she was getting very agitated, almost as if she wanted to dig her way under the door.

“What’s up, girl? Are you missing your new best friend?”

Rags looked up at him and backed up from the door, then went forward and began to paw it again.

“Okay,” he said, ruffling her ears. “I’ll knock. Stop worrying.”

He rapped his knuckles on the door and waited for Regan to reply.

“Regan, you all right in there, honey?”

No answer. He knocked louder. There was no lock on the door, but he hesitated. He could hardly go bursting in on her. She’d kill him – or throw something at him! She wouldn’t be pleased, he knew that.

“Regan,” he shouted and Rags began to bark. The other dogs came to see what all the fuss was about, but still there was no answer from the bathroom.

“I’m coming in,” he called and he pushed the door open, covering his eyes with his hand while he waited for her outraged scream. But no sound came and as he took his hand down, he realised she’d fallen asleep again, head back, hair trailing. Her modesty was intact as she was hidden by bubbles and the wine glass was on its side on the floor, some of the contents spilled.

“Regan,” he shook her shoulder. She felt cold. He couldn’t leave her there. “Oh, hell.”

He shook her shoulder harder.

“Wake up, Regan,” he said loudly and she jerked awake. “There’s a warm towel there. You’re not going to want your dinner are you, love?” he said.

“I can’t stay awake,” she said. “Sorry, Bram.”

“It’s okay. You can have my bed. I’ll take the sofa. Give me a shout when you’re decent and I’ll come and sort out your cuts. I’ll put some pyjamas out for you.”
