I can't just sit here and do nothing while waiting for Eris, so I decide to wash my own hair first. The shampoo and conditioner are the same as yesterday, their familiar scent calming and relaxing as I work the lather into my hair. The warm water cascades down my back, easing the tension I hadn't even realized I was holding.
But…
Something is missing.
Having someone else wash my hair just felt nicer.
Yeah, I guess that's true.
For some reason, I already miss the sensation of Eris' fingers running through my hair. I miss her touch, the way she firmly held down my ears, keeping them still even when they twitched from the ticklish sensation. It was both soothing and fun in a way I hadn't expected.
Thinking back on yesterday, a small smile creeps onto my lips.
