Snowflake:

I see that. But you’re naked beneath all those bubbles!

And now I’m imagining it.

I bit my lower lip. It hadn’t been my intention, but... I also didn’t mind. On the contrary. Knowing that Henry was thinking about me sent a wave of heat through me that had nothing to do with the warm bath.

Snowflake:

Fuck, Kate. I’m sorry! I shouldn’t have written that.

Completely inappropriate.

Can we put it down to me being totally overworked?

Me:

Don’t be sorry. I hope you’re enjoying the image.

Three dots appeared, signalling that Henry was writing again, but then they disappeared. A moment later, they reappeared. Then disappeared. After a moment, I finally got my reply:

Snowflake:

I am.

It’s a very nice one.

Snowflake:

Is it OK that I said that?

Please don’t report me for sexual harassment.

Me:

I can’t afford them.

Perhaps we should settle this out of court.

Snowflake:

How?

Me:

You owe me a photo.
