I dig in Robert’s bag for his DOP kit; knowing he has good shampoo that I’ll like the smell of; I grab his Bluetooth speaker out while I’m at it. No matter his pristine bag now looks a mess. How he packs and does everything so neatly I’ll never know.

I pair the Bluetooth to my phone and just play Dinah Washington as a station on Pandora. I dig in his DOP kit, and find the shampoo and conditioner. Pete and Pero.

I turn the water on and shuck off my clothes while it heats up. Leaving them in a heap on the floor I step into the warm steam of the shower, and relish the feel of the warm water on my head. I stand there just letting it wash over me for a few minutes. Then I reach out and undo the packaging from the soap the hotel provides.

I wash my face twice, then reach for the shampoo; I change my mind and instead use the brand the hotel has provided. preferring the smell of clean to peppermint.

I wash my hair, then use the conditioner. I think as I let the water hit my back how good a massage would feel. I soap myself down and rinse the conditioner out of my hair. I climb out of the shower, but before grabbing a towel slather lotion on quickly. I forego the robe, and just wrap the towel around me as I head into the living room of our suite.
