THIRTEEN

"Hi mom, I'm fine here."

I was just getting out of the bathroom when mom called. I've seen it three times and this is the fourth time mom has called me tonight. But I really don't know if my cell phone has been ringing since earlier because I was busy enjoying soaking in the hot water with the liquid soap that smells of spring flowers which is very fragrant. I bought it at one of the souvenir shops I found in Old Town. And now I feel satisfied because the floral fragrance is so soothing and very comfortable on my skin.

"I had just finished showering. This day is very exhausting. We were walking around Old Town when it was snowing hard.”

I lay on the bed with a bathrobe wrapped around me and a towel over my head to dry my wet hair while listening to my mother talk about things.

“Looks like you enjoyed your time with Kane well. The cold air there will add to the romantic atmosphere between you. Are you two lying on the bed to warm each other up?”
