If you’re going to need me, even if it’s just to yell at…
““If you’re going to need me, even if it’s just to yell at, I’m going to stay right here.” “No, I want to take a shower. I’m not about to if you stay out there.” “Excuse me, but-huh? Then there will be two doors between you and me.” Some of the blood stayed in my cheeks as I found myself spluttering, “But you’ll know I’m taking a shower!” “ You just told me you were going to! ””
