as i take a sip of my gin and tonic , i notice that shes stripped down to her bra and panties , the steam surrounding her in a mist , making her skin almost glow as she holds out her hand and guides me towards her , into her arms , into the bath , allowing the pain in my body to recede as she joins me elena , i whisper but she covers my mouth with hers and i dont wonder where shes come from , only where she will take me now chapter 13 the waters cold and elenas gone .
