"And look all the way up at the ceiling," Dr. Kapoor instructed Adriana during his visit to Wayne Manor.
She looked up at the ornate carved designs on the wood ceiling.
"Any pain?" he asked.
"Nope," lsaid.
"And face forward again," he said. "And I'm going to place my hand here. Alright and lean to the side."
Adriana felt her mind slip away as the doctor guided the same exercises she had been doing during each one of his visits.
"Excellent," the doctor said. "It seems the sword lesson wasn't too much."
"No it was great," Adriana said.
"I'm glad to hear it," he told her. "You can stand up."
"Yep.." she said and extended her hands in front of her. "Time to walk like Frankenstein?"
The doctor laughed.
"A few steps forward, turn and walk back," he told her. "Tilt your head back a few inches."
She followed his instructions but felt herself walking strangely.
"No neck pain?" he asked.
"Nope," she said.
"Are you sure the sword training wasn't too much?" he asked. "You only had superficial bruising on the hips but your gait is a bit restricted now...Perhaps-"
"It's from sex," Adriana told him blatantly. "It's not my hips it's my...you know."
"I....see..." the doctor said.
"Yeah.." Adriana said. "I'm fine."
"Okay then," Dr. Kapoor said. "A warm soak should help with any...soreness. But you and Bruce should take it easy."
Once the doctor left, Adriana went to the jacuzzi room and got it. Once she lowered herself into the hot water, she felt her body finally feel soothed. Her phone vibrated on the tile floor beside her.
"Harri," Adriana said and picked up the video call.
"Woww...." Harri said and looked at the background. "Where are you? A fancy spa with a Turkish bath?"
"No, I'm home," Adriana said. "Wayne Manor in the jacuzzi."
"Oh wow I can't wait!" Harri said. "Wayne Manor looks gorgeous, I can't wait to see it when we come visit for the dinner party. How's my nephew?"
"He's taking a nap," Adriana said. "I've got fifteen more minutes until he's up again. Bruce went back to the office today after a couple weeks of work from home. Needless to say, Arsenio isn't the thrilled about it. If he had it his way, Bruce would be home all day, every day." Adriana felt her eyes shut tightly as she shifted her body on the seat in the jacuzzi.
"What's wrong?" Harri asked. "Is your neck hurting again?"
"Not my neck," Adriana said.
"What is it then?" Harri asked.
"Um..." Adriana said. "Nope...just...sore from sex. Feel like I'll need a soak all day."
Harri burst out laughing.
"What's so funny?" Adriana asked.
"You," Harri said and picked up her Starbucks cup and sipped her cold drink through a straw.
Adriana rolled her eyes.
"I've never had that," Harri laughed. "I mean I've felt like a nice bath would be soothing but I never wanted to soak all day long."
