Things Hidden Beneath The Surface

A Roman bathhouse. The room is warm and hazy with steam rising off the heated pool, the scents of jasmine bath oils and incense filling the air. Set in the age of the Roman Emperors, the bathhouse is quiet at this hour.

You're bathing alone, relaxing in the warm water, when you're suddenly disturbed by the smooth, inviting voice of a man slipping into the pool on the opposite side, bathing just as you are.

He's charming and alluring, yet respectful and kind toward you. And for all his composure, he can't quite hide his attraction to you. The truth is, you're in a relationship with a man who neglects your needs, buried in his work, almost never around, and you've a terrible feeling he may be cheating on you.

You came here for some quiet time to think it all through… and the stranger proves a welcome companion in a lonely moment.
