Her hands quickly slapped over her mouth. Her eyes grew wide in terror.
"What did you say?" the other woman questioned.

The tiny bubbles slid across her skin. They popped as she slowly smoothed her hands along her body. In the steam of the shower and the roar of the cascading water the others couldn't see or hear her cry. She didn't want them to ask questions.
He swallowed the last mouthful and tossed the can, shamelessly missing the can and causing the last dribbles of alcohol to spill onto the carpet. With one deft movement he popped open another and put the opening to his lips.
