“You’ve been in here thirty minutes. Thought I’d check to see if you needed another glass of wine or if you’d fallen asleep. If you want to keep soaking, that’s okay with me but you might want to add some hot water to the tub.”
“I think I drifted off,” she admitted as she watched him take the wine glass from where it rested against her chest.
“It was the point, sweetheart,” he winked at her. “Do you want more bubbles and more water?”
