Mattie refused to look at Nick as she waited, awkwardly, for the bath to finish running. "So... you're still feeling kind of fucked up," she started, and then trailed off because of course he was. She stuck her hand under the running water to get a feel for the temperature, nodded softly to herself because it was hot but not scalding, and stopped running it.

Still not looking at Nick, she said, "Okay, it's ready. Prepare to be fuckin' lathered."
