Miles Sherman massaged her with quiet concentration.
Nathan Lockwood and Chase Shaw watched from behind him.
It had been nearly a full half-hour, and Zoe Pierce was just realizing how long it had been. Taking advantage of a moment when Miles Sherman pulled his hands back, she drew her leg in. "That's enough."
Miles Sherman's hands paused in mid-air for a moment before he drew them back. "Alright."
It had to be said, Miles Sherman's technique was incredibly relaxing.
The massage had left Zoe Pierce drowsy long ago. The only reason she hadn't fallen asleep was the nagging thought that she still needed to shower.
She let out a yawn, and everyone could see she was exhausted.
They didn't stay any longer.
The next few days repeated the routine of the first. Every day, Zoe Pierce would return carried on Nathan Lockwood's back. Eventually, she started falling asleep on his back on the way.
She had been the most exhausted of them all these past days.
