Joanne wasn't hungry. But… she had come all the way here, so she decided she might as well enjoy her stay.
She rarely stayed in hotels, and this time, she had booked the best suite. It had every amenity imaginable. People always said money couldn't buy happiness, but those people clearly never grew up poor. Money might not be everything, but it could certainly buy comfort. And with comfort came a certain kind of peace— the kind she had always longed for.
The bathroom alone felt like a sanctuary. The jacuzzi tub released elegant streams of water that washed away her weariness, soothing her muscles and softening the knots of tension in her shoulders. She leaned back and closed her eyes, letting herself melt into the warmth.
She had never enjoyed a bath this much in her life.
As the water lulled her, she found herself wondering how much a tub like this cost. Maybe she could buy one. Install it in her Rockchapel home, make that place even more of a refuge.
