I kept my calm as I walked past her toward the shower. “Now, you have a choice, Tara.” I dropped my flannel bottoms and underwear. “I’m taking a shower, then I’m going to use the toilet.” I pulled off my shirt, dropping it to the floor. I opened the shower and stepped in. “You can either stay and continue to do your makeup while I do that. Or you can go into your bedroom to finish.” I turned the hot water on, adjusted the temperature, then turned the shower on. Tara huffed and slammed the door behind her. I smiled, enjoying my little victory.
