Chapter 58 Making up for the lost time

• Sydney -
• I returned home exhausted, tired, and a little worried. I dragged myself to the bedroom, taking off my clothes, dropping them on the floor, not caring where they landed. I turned on the water to the huge bathtub and poured a bubble bath into it. The seductive scent of the bubble bath wafted through the air. After pulling my hair up, and clipping them in a messy bun, I stepped into the bathwater. 
• I wanted to relax, but Mike's confession, his secret, the money problems all ran through my head in a continuous stream. I closed my eyes and leaned back, resting. I lay there for a long time, not knowing how long and not caring as I felt relaxed for the first time all day.
