Chapter 74

• "I thought we were getting a shower?" I asked, raising an eyebrow as Kieran turned on the faucet for the bathtub.
• I had long admired the bathtub in their bathroom but hadn't yet had the chance to use it. The jets etched into the side, the built-in seat meant for reclining, and the curved design that could easily fit a small family; it all called my name.
• After a lifetime of living in cruddy apartments and decrepit houses, this place felt like a mansion. I was used to small shower-bathtub combinations, often stained an unappealing shade of yellow. More often than not, mold dotted the ceiling in black and green splotches.
