Alex gave a shrug when Juliette spoke, glancing toward the bathtub. His heart was pounding away, he felt like it was going to burst right out of his chest and settle on the floor between them. Grinding his teeth together, Alex stepped turned the tub and turned the water on, testing it a few times and adjusting it until he felt it was right. "I... uh.." he trailed off, clearing his throat as he shrugged again.
"Just... if it gets to be too much you can go," Alex muttered as he lowered himself to his knees so that he could plug the bathtub. Using the edge of the tub to push himself back to his feet, he hesitated a moment longer before tugging his pants down his legs. He kicked them to the side, his fingers gripping the bottom of his shirt.
A shudder ran down his spine before he began to peel his shirt from his body. Alex's shoulders were taught even as he dropped it to the floor on top of the pants before he finally stepped over to climb into the tub. He braced himself on the walls, his eyes slipping shut as he began to sink into the water. When he was finally settled, Alex finally found the courage to look up to his wife. "Thank you, angel," he murmured, reaching over for her hand. "Come here."
