Malka was relaxing in a hot bath. The bath was a free-standing hammered copper tub with slipper clawfoot legs and filling it was no easy task. It was a lot of work for Edna to prepare the tub for full immersion, as a result, Malka rarely made the request. However, today she was treating herself.
Edna had filled the bath with a lot of cold water from the sink and then heated buckets to warm the water at the fireplace next to the tub.
Malka rested her head back on the roll top. Her hair was pinned up to keep it dry and her fingers played along the water's surface. She closed her eyes and quietly hummed Brahms Lullaby to herself.
Knock! Knock! "Mal?"
Malka sighed and rolled her head to towards the main door which led directly to the landing.
"Yes Ollie?"
"Will you be out soon?" he asked.
He sounded sad and concerned.
"Why? Are you alright?"
"Alfie... he...."
Malka's brow furrowed.
"Alfie what?" she called.
"He hit me today."
Malka sat up suddenly in the bath, her heart pounding as her stomach knotted. Everything had been fine with Alfie for weeks, plus hitting Ollie wasn't something Alfie had done even when everything wasn't fine.
After a few seconds thought she hurriedly climbed out the bath, put on her thick linen robe, and opened the door to a very sorry looking Ollie on the landing.
Malka's eyes darted about his face, he looked unharmed.
"Where?" she asked confused.
Ollie lifted his hand to his left cheek. Malka took a closer look but there were no apparent marks.
"Ollie! He didn't hit you at all did he? What did you do to earn yourself a slap?" she requested a little exasperated but mostly relieved.
"I didn't do anything!" he exclaimed earnestly.
"Alright, what did you say?" she asked, indicating for Ollie to walk and talk with her.
"Tommy was threatening to blow up the bakery!" Ollie exclaimed and throwing his hands out as he followed Malka into the master bedroom.
