It's been a long and hard day for Opal, so a shower was definitely needed. She would usually just soak in the bathtub till she started to prune, but since she didn't know how long her infant son would stay asleep, a hot shower was pleasant compromise. During Opal's little 'me-times' that all she did – focus on herself and recharge her batteries.

Because of that, Opal was taken by surprise and let out a small yelp when she felt someone come up behind her, spin her around to face them, lift her up, and press her against the wall in one fluid motion. It took her eyes a moment to adjust and realize that the intruder was just her husband playing a harmless prank.

"Bolin, you jerk you scared me," Opal frowned – even though she couldn't hold back her smile – as she hit Bolin's shoulder.

Bolin grinned as he looked at Opal, happy that his little scare worked. "I'm happy to see you too sweetie." Bolin then leaned in to give Opal a quick kiss on the lips.

Opal smiled as she rested her arms on Bolin's shoulders. "What are you doing here? I thought you weren't supposed leave the station till tomorrow morning?"

Bolin shrugged. "The chief had some extra guys around, so he let me off early since I was there the longest. I thought you would be happy that I got off early?"

"I am happy," Opal smiled as she played with small, wet hairs at the back of Bolin's neck. "Just would have liked a heads up more than an intruder in the shower."

Bolin smirked. "I thought it was weird that you were already in here this early. Did San keep you busy while I was gone?"

"He's defiantly your son," Opal smirked. "And speaking of children, where were we on our last conversation before you went to work?"

"Around here," Bolin smiled before he leaned in and kissing Opal's neck just below her jawline.
