Chapter Seven

“I absolutely cannot believe how big it is,” Vries said, staring in wonder.

Leo lowered his head, looking a bit abashed. “Yes, that’s pretty much everyone’s reaction.”

Vries frowned. “Exactly how many people have seen it?”

He chuckled. “A lot fewer than you would think.”

She shook her head in disbelief. “The damned thing really should have its own zip code. I’ve never seen one so big before in my life.”

“Now I think you’re exaggerating. It’s not that impressive, I’ve certainly seen bigger.”

She stared at him a few seconds, then looked back down. “I mean, how did it ever fit?”

“Rumor has it they had to take down a door, or maybe a wall.”

Vries walked around to the other side of the outrageously large marble tub, shaking her head in disbelief. She hadn’t seen it when they came back to Leo’s place the previous evening because it was on the other side of the master bath in what she’d thought was a closet. Despite her misgivings about moving in with Leo so quickly, she couldn’t deny that it made sense in regard to her assignment, but she’d only moved enough clothes for the next couple of weeks. She continued to stare at the tub. The huge marble edifice was large enough for no fewer than six people. And though she really hoped otherwise, she suspected the taps were real gold.

“Funny, you don’t strike me as a tub kind of guy at all,” she said.

“I’m not. I’ve never used it. It takes too long to fill the thing. I’m usually in a hurry.”

Vries stared at him. Sacrilege. Absolute sacrilege. If she could, she would live in it. Such a huge tub was a tremendous luxury. She’d gradually adapted to the size of European fixtures, so much so that when she traveled to the States she was surprised by the size. “So why do you have it?” she asked.

He shrugged. “It came with the house, I never really thought about it.” He turned to leave the room.

“Oh, no. No way am I going to miss out on this,” she said. “I love a nice long soak.”

“You do?”

“Yes, and it’s not every day I get a chance to use a tub this large.”

“Well, by all means have at it.”

She looked up at him her lips forming what she knew to be a delicious pout. “You mean, you won’t join me? A tub like this is designed for company.”

His face brightened immediately as he smiled. “But of course.”
