I pull the curtain shut, separating us from whatever else is paperback out there: the sleeping dogs on our bed, the phone calls, the TV I never turn off, the dishes that are never done. The shower curtain lets in little light, but seems to make Katie's skin look whiter, and mine darker brown. paperback The bathtub is not large. Standing up, our bodies fit in it perfectly. Katie's bath stuff is lined along the edges of the tub. Mine is in a bright, teal plastic basket directly behind her, held up paperback by suction cups. We reach over each other to get our shampoos, our bodies touching. My left arm grazes her neck and shoulder. Her arm brushes against the side of my stomach. I scrub in my shampoo, my hands working vigorously back and forth on my scalp. She applies hers slowly; her languid movements contrast with mine. I wait until she's done, putting my hands on her arms and feeling her goosebumps.
