Sides, top, and front sufficiently cleansed, it's time for the all-important nape. Cradling his neck, I lift gingerly from the U-shaped opening, drawing his face toward me. I fervently hope the cleavageful of Vera Wang Lovestruck he's getting will work its magic on his olfactory nerves while my fingers scratch at the back of his head.

I hate having to redeposit his neck back into the harsh slot of the sink, but that's how this dance is choreographed.

Lather. Rinse. Repeat.
