Not true, but... forget it.

What about Bunny?

Me:

Nope.

Snowflake:

Kitten?

Me:

Only if you want me to scratch out your eyes.

Snowflake:

You’re not making this easy for me.

Me:

Perhaps it’s your imagination and not me that’s the problem.

Snowflake:

I don’t think so. I’ll give it some more thought...

How are you? How was your day?

Me:

Life is treating me pretty well right now.

I took a photo with the phone’s camera, capturing the bathroom and a mountain of bath bubbles with my knees rising from it.I sent it to Henry, but this time he didn’t write back straightaway. He’d probably received a call. I took the book I’d picked out earlier and began to read. I’d only managed one paragraph when my phone vibrated with a new message. I reached for it so fast that I splashed water and foam onto the display.

Snowflake:

Shit, Kate.

Me:

What?

Snowflake:

Your photo.

Me:

What about it?

Snowflake:

You’re naked.

Me:

Yes, I’m taking a bath.
