I opened the door and was surprised to see AB standing there. She was soaked and shivering. She was wearing the same clothes she was on this morning, her jacket unzipped. I can see through her wet white shirt. All the muscles in my belly stiffened but I had to constrain the unwanted sensation when I saw her swollen eyes. I knew that she's been crying. All the anguish that I felt earlier suddenly evaporated into thin air. All I want to do now is to comfort her. Without having second thoughts, I grabbed her arm and dragged her to the bathroom. I set the water heater on as well as the shower. "Take a bath before you get sick. I'll just get clean clothes." I closed the door before me leaning against it, fighting back to urge to open it again and take her by surprise. I rummaged through my closet and drawers looking for clothes. I settled for sweatpants and white t-shirt. These should be fine. I walked towards the bathroom and stopped in front of the door. My heart rate started to escalate. I raised my hand to knock but it was left suspended in the air when the door suddenly opened. And there she was, standing, gloriously nude. ---- This is a short story. We'll make this quick and easy.
