“Night time had fallen and though she fell into sleep with Max, she awoke alone. Feeling more rested despite having not slept through the night, she turned on the light and found a note written by the detective for her: ‘Sorry Eva, duty calls and you’re safer with this murderer behind bars than loose. Stay put and you’ll be safe. I’ll be back as soon as I can. Max.’ She rubbed her head groggily, and despite the late hour, she opted to take a bath, letting the soothing, overly hot water ease away... her worries and concerns. She hadn’t brought a change of clothes or, really, anything but for her purse. Still, an hour or more passed with her in the bath, working through the emotional turmoil of the last couple of days, her mind reeling. Terrence was sleeping with Sylvia too? Then what did Turing have to do with anything? She found herself shivering, despite the fact that the water was so hot it burned her flesh, and she kept adding more scalding steam to the tub as it cooled. When she finally stepped out, her skin was red, but she felt cleansed, and the routine task of fixing her makeup and lotioning her skin was welcome.MoreLessRead More Read Less
