“Who are you talking to?” At that moment, Shane had finished his shower. He asked while drying his hair.

Natalie replied, “It’s Joyce.”

Shane nodded with understanding.

“Joyce, I’ll have to talk to you later. I’m busy with something at the moment.”

Joyce returned with an “OK” emoticon.

Natalie chuckled and turned off her phone. She then reached out to pick up her clothes from the floor.

However, her hip was still reeling from the pain. Furthermore, she was in the middle of the bed, so her fingers couldn’t quite reach the floor.

Resigned, she pouted and stared at Shane, hoping he could lend her a hand.

He understood her hint and the corners of his lips turned up. “Can’t you just walk right into the bathroom?”

“I’m not wearing anything.” Natalie stared pointedly at him.

 

Shane lifted his chin. “I know. But I’ve already seen your entire body, so there is nothing to be shy of.”

“You…” Natalie’s temper sparked at his ignorant comment. She picked up a pillow and threw it at him.
