He kissed her lips "mmm I prescribe a hot bath and a foot massage. How does that sound?" he said

"You are the doctor." She said

He let out a chuckle then he turned her around to pick her up. He carried her into the bathroom. He ran them a hot bath they sat on either side of their clawfoot tub he massaged her feet.
