Sonia pursed her pale lips and said, “I did fall down by myself, but I feel like things weren’t as simple as they looked.”

“Do you suspect something, baby?” Charles asked as he looked at her.

She nodded. “I fell because I stepped on something slippery as I came out from the stall. When I was on the floor, I smelled something fragrant, like body wash.”

“Why would there be body wash in front of your stall?” His eyes widened in astonishment.

 

“I have no clue either.”

Stroking his chin, he mused, “Could it be that someone dropped their body wash as they passed by and it spilled right on your doorstep, and you were unlucky enough to step in it?”

Narrowing her eyes, she answered, “Maybe, but the chances don’t sound too high.”

“Why do you say so?”

Tilting her head slightly at him, Sonia answered, “Because I didn’t hear the sound of anything falling while I was taking a bath.”
