She twisted the knob to water flowing ice cold, then gently transforming into steamy mist. Tested and adjusted, curtain drawn to harness the cloudy heat, a toe dipped, a sharp breath and quickly withdrawn. Determined, she slowly submerged one, then two feet and lowered, all in, shoulder deep to soak. Body immersed into silky bubbles; mind absorbed in paragraphs and chapters.
Pearls of sweat rolling slowly down her face, and neck are ignored while she’s living another life within the book’s pages. Sleepy eyes droop, book drops to the floor. She emerges pink, and glistening to wrap into thick cotton.
100 Word Challenge this week is “Pink”. Pink for many is flowers and Spring, but in my world we are buried in a deep freeze of single digit temps with snow stacking. It doesn’t seem to have an end and my escape comes nightly in a hot tub with a good book where I’m the one who’s pink. “Click” on the image below to read some of the other submission to this weeks challenge.
