After everything was unpacked, Mary walked aimlessly around the small
bedroom thinking about the days when it was just she and Lucy there. Back
before Ruthie, Matt, Robbie or anyone else occupied it. Back then
everything was so much easier. Of course then it didn't seem easy, Mary
wanted to laugh at the things she and Lucy had worried about. They seemed
so trivial compared to this.
Mary noticed something in the room didn't smell pleasant. She walked around sniffing her clothes, and under the bed. She chuckled when she realized that she was the disgusting smell. She couldn't remember the last time she had a shower, with all that was going on, it was the last thing on her mind.
She walked out into the hallway and her mother was leaving the twins room, she held a finger to her lips and tiptoed out as she shut the door. "Hey Mary" she said softly.
Mary started to walk past her in order to avoid all conversation if possible, "I'm just gunna go take a shower"
"Oh, the why don't you use my bathtub, you know, light some candles, relax a little" Annie said trying to put Mary at ease.
"Yeah, ok thanks" Mary said avoiding her mother's eyes and heading straight for the bathroom.
After the tub was full and the candles were lit, Mary switched off the lights and slid into the warm tub. She melted into the water; she put her ears under the water and listened to the silence.
But the silence was a little too quiet; it made her think, and Mary didn't want to think about anything. She reached over the tub to the outdated boom box sitting against the wall. She flipped the radio on to hear a smooth voice sing; "Let's stay together, Times are good or bad, happy or sad"
She immediately flipped it off and decided that silence was best. She looked out the window to discover that it was raining. The small drops slowly rolling down the pane seemed to hypnotize her, and just for a minute take her away from her thoughts.
A sudden flash of lightning brought her out of her trance. And her mind went straight back to her worries and stresses. Mary took a deep breath and slipped under the water. She was under there for quite awhile, when she didn't move at all, and the water was smooth, she could almost see her reflection in it.
Mary slowly rose back to the surface; she raised a hand out of the tub to check her watch. She had only been in there 10 minutes, but she examined her fingers, which were starting to wrinkle. There was steam coming off of her hand, she lifted the other one to further investigate this occurrence. As she waved her hands around a shiny object caught her eye.
Mary quickly sat up and started tugging at the gold band. When it finally came off of her finger she examined it. A representation of an eternal circle of love. She set it on the edge of the tub.
Love, yeah right.

Wow, that was wicked short
Ok, ok I know that the parent's bathtub was in prodigal (at least, I think it was) I didn't realize I was being so prodigal-y. I warned you. But can you blame me? It's a great episode! Especially the part where Wilson is checking his messages and he emerges in less and less clothing each time. *sigh* ok enough daydreaming.
Review Please! If you do, I might move up when I decide to reveal what is going on!
