“Maybe,” Elyse murmured, hastily waving her hands in dismissal. “I'm off to take a shower!” With that, she
dashed into the bathroom, closing the door behind her with a finality that suggested she wasn’t coming out

From the other side of the door, Louise watched with amusement, chuckling softly. She tossed her head back
