Reaching out, I stroke up and down her calf with my fingertips. Her body relaxes and she stretches out a little, seeking more of my touch. I tip my head back, closing my eyes, and just keep stroking her leg. As long as she’s in this bathroom, this is where I’ll be too. For better or worse. Besides, we’ve had our fill of bad karma for the weekend. Everything will look better in the morning.
