Chapter Text
"How inconvenient..." [Name] mumbled to herself, she had just gotten back from a small shopping trip for a few things when it started to rain. Despite the pour, she found no need to rush and took her time under her umbrella, each step increasing as she neared her building.
As she finally reached her apartment building, she was quick to scramble to her keys, dropping a few things as she struggled to unlock the door. Her eyes lit up as she heard a 'click' of success,
Doing a small cheer, she gently nudged the door fully open with her body. As soon as the door closed behind her, the girl took off her raincoat and hung it on the coat hanger and dropping the umbrella on the floor, letting out a sigh of relief. She was finally safe from the storm, the rain, and the raging wind. She took a moment to catch her breath, her clothes still soaked despite the raincoat, truly a pointless purchase
The storm was getting even closer now, the thunder sounding like a chorus of drums echoing in the distance. The girl knew she needed to get out of her wet clothes and into a warm bath as soon as possible,
"What on earth...it's the middle of February...then again, it is the UK..." mumbling to herself as she peeked out the window, shutting the curtains.
[Name] grimaced as her white shirt stuck to her skin, dropping all her shopping, she scurried to the bathroom. As she stepped into the hot shower, the warm water felt as if it were a much-needed hug, a comforting blanket wrapping around her tired body. The water massaged her neck and shoulders, removing the tension and the strain of the day. She closed her eyes and let the water wash over her, cleaning away the day's dirt and dust, rinsing away the stress and worries of the past few hours.
The shower was a sanctuary, a safe space where she could forget about the outside world and simply focus on the present moment. All she could hear was the sound of the water, its soothing murmur drowning out the sounds of the storm raging outside.
As she stood under the warm water, she felt the tension in her body gradually release, muscle by muscle, until she was completely relaxed. Closing her eyes, it felt like she was in a completely different space...She could practically fall asleep standing up,
But for the shortest moment, she swore she did,
When she had looked down to grab the shampoo, instead, all she saw was her own...gloved hand? reaching out onto dirty cobblestones, then she blinked, and she was back.
