Chapter 22

Valerie's POV

The first thing I did when I got into my room was to get rid of the clothes I wore today. They stuck to my body, a symbol of how hard and stressful the day had been. The cool night breeze whispered across my skin, leaving goose pimples as I walked to the bathroom.

I sat on the edge of the bathtub as I waited for it to get filled with warm water. I added some mint and lavender oil and the soap I needed to form the bubbles. The fragrance of the oils mixed with that of the bubble soap wafted through the room, giving the room a pleasant odor.

I sank into the water relishing the feel of it as it engulfed me. I could feel the water working its way through my tightened muscles and joints. The oils I had put in helped me to relax by easing the tension from my mind, as I submerged myself deeper into the water. I loved bubble baths, the bubbles tickled my nose and skin in a playful manner while washing away the sweat and grime of the day. Taki
