Two Can Play
My body knew.
At the far end of the room stood a small, unremarkable door. I crossed to it and pushed it open.
Inside was a bathroom that also served as a closet. On one side stood a shower cubicle, clean, gray plastic. On the other side, a little hanging rail held clothes: exactly five dresses, neat on hangers, all pretty, all thin, all alive to the same statement, built for being taken off. Above the rail, a shelf held bottles and jars, lotions, body washes, creams, perfumes, a whole pharmacy of heavy scents, arranged like wares. There were towels, folded white. Three toothbrushes, still in their wrappers, like the wares of a clinic.
