Carrie groaned deeply. She looked toward her bedroom, where her phone was, and then to him. "Fill the tub. I'm going to answer that, put on some music, then be back." She licked her lips, shivering a little when she hit the split part. "If I don't answer, they'll be back at the door and I really don't want to see Virgil's ugly face again today."

She hated leaving him, but she was sure they would be back if she didn't. She left the bathroom door open when she went for her phone.
