Hygienic Concern
Never before had she encountered a hygiene concern, and facing it as an adult overwhelmed her with embarrassment. Her affection for Chris was immense, and she desired nothing more than to be flawless for him.
With tears welling in her eyes, she pushed open the bathroom door. The fact that his mother could detect it implied that she was the problem.
The politeness of everyone else suggested they refrained from mentioning it. She remained clueless about what her new boyfriend was orchestrating behind her back.
