Lily came home from her shift at the library and took a long shower. She wondered why today had felt so long, even after she didn't have to go in to work this morning. Just class and the library. But her shoulders and her neck ached and she stood for a long time just letting the hot, almost scalding, water pound against her tired muscles. Some time after her fingers had gone all wrinkly, Lily reluctantly turned off the water, dried off, and dressed in loose fitting shorts and a tank top. With her wet hair wrapped up in a towel, she sat on the edge of the bed, absently massaging her favorite lotion into her skin, relaxing further as the scent surrounded her.
