After a steaming hot shower and a thorough cleansing, Lucy wrapped her body in one of John’s fluffy white towels while she squeezed her hair out in another and wandered back into the bedroom to dig her phone out of her pile of clothes by the window. She stood staring down at the town lit in the orange warmth of the scattered lampposts running along the edges of the walkways and saw, barely peaking up over the top of buildings, the dimly lit market sign of the twenty-four hour grocery store John was probably wandering through this very moment. She thought about discarding the towel and waiting for his return right there in the window to tempt him with a little show but chuckled and thought better of it.
