As the clock inched closer to three, Iris felt a mix of anticipation and relief. The massage therapist had arrived, and she could already sense the tension in her body beginning to melt away at the thought of the upcoming session.
The maid led the therapist to the spa room, which was filled with soft lighting and calming scents, creating a tranquil atmosphere.
"Welcome, Iris," the therapist said with a warm smile. "I'm here to help you relax and ease any discomfort you're feeling."
"Thank you so much. I really appreciate it," Iris replied, grateful for the soothing presence.
As she lay down on the massage table, Iris closed her eyes, taking a deep breath to center herself. The therapist began the session, gently applying pressure to her shoulders and back.
Iris felt herself sinking into the table, the knots in her muscles gradually loosening under the skilled hands of the therapist.
The soothing music in the background complemented the gentle strokes, and Iris let herself drift, focusing on the sensation of each movement.
She could feel the therapist's hands working through the tension, easing the aches that had settled in her body after a demanding week.
"Let me know if there's any area you'd like me to focus on," the therapist said softly, maintaining a calming tone.
"Mostly my shoulders and lower back, please. They've been really tight," Iris replied, relishing the comfort of the room.
As the session progressed, Iris allowed herself to let go of any lingering thoughts about work or responsibilities.
For this hour, it was just about her well-being. She could feel the stress of her hectic schedule slipping away with every careful stroke, replaced by a sense of peace.
In the back of her mind, she knew Inigo was safe and happy playing nearby, and that thought brought her even more comfort. This time for herself felt deserved, a necessary break to recharge before diving back into the demands of her career.
After what felt like both a moment and an eternity, the therapist wrapped up the session, gently advising Iris to take her time getting up. "You did wonderfully. Remember to drink plenty of water to help with the relaxation," she said, giving Iris a soft smile.
As Iris slowly sat up, she felt lighter, both physically and mentally. The aches that had once plagued her were diminished, replaced by a sense of rejuvenation. She thanked the therapist sincerely, appreciating the care she had received.
As she stepped out of the spa room, Iris felt ready to embrace whatever the rest of the day had in store, grateful for the balance of work and self-care that allowed her to thrive.
