Sally got a call back from a company she had applied to recently for a job. It was for a clerical position, and the firm's headquarters were situated Downtown a few blocks from her old workplace; not too far from her former therapist's office, either.
With what was going on in her life lately, Sally had almost forgotten about her precarious predicament of being unemployed. Even though she had recently recovered her "moving-out money", she longed for the security of a steady job, to replace the one she had hastily abandoned.
After securing herself new employment, she would resolve to resume her apartment search. For a while now, living in the boarding house had put a real damper on her privacy, not to mention her sanity. Her "windfall" money in her hands though, could finally get her that independent space she had been wanting. Besides, Vincent and his obnoxious "frat" buddy were fucking annoying, giving her all the more reason to ditch the house.
"First thing's first. I have to get a job", she reasoned, and so she wasted no time in scheduling an interview for the following workday, bright and early.
"I hope there aren't good looking guys at this new place", she muttered to herself.

Sally awoke unusually early the next morning, nervous about meeting a prospective employer. And as she could not think of arriving late to any meeting, instead of going back to sleep for more rest, she decided to get out of bed.
Yawning and stretching out her limbs a bit, she looked out the bedroom window. It was barely light out, and she reckoned everyone in the house was still asleep. With ample time to kill, she considered taking a long hot bath. That was sure to calm her jittery nerves.
Along with toiletries and bath towels, Sally took her phone into the bathroom. She needed to switch the light on, as the sun hadn't fully risen yet. Setting her things down, and still in her bathrobe, she sat on the edge of the tub. She started her bath, watching the steam emitting from the thick flow of gushing water. She poured in some iridescent-looking, fruit smelling soap, which immediately generated foamy bubbles. Grabbing her phone to open up "YouTube", she put on soothing aromatherapy music. Then she set the phone down and waited for the tub to fill up.
Dipping one small toe in, Sally gauged the bath's temperature, satisfied with how it felt. She untied her hair and let it fall over her scarred back and shoulders. Then she opened her bathrobe and let it fall to the floor, carefully stepping into the tub. Her backside had healed up sufficiently from the encounter with BDSM, so she took a deep breath, held it, and immersed, head and all, into the steamy water.
Safely "cocooned" from the outside world that she never quite understood, Sally felt absolute contentment lying in the smoldering bath. The water swirling around was gently caressing her skin. She wished to revel in its heated comfort forever, wanting to postpone reality indefinitely.
Submerged for almost a minute, she finally emerged and then reached nearby for her pink bath sponge. Using its softness to gently scrub her breasts, she brushed lightly over the nipples, which became erect at the touch. A dreamy image of Sebastian's green eyes flashed before her then, prompting a look down at her breasts, closely examining the pink areolas. Sebastian's piercing eyes lingered in her thoughts, and then she imagined them closed, as his mouth gaped open. She pictured his lips slowly approaching her left nipple, and then, instinctively, he began to suckle...
Sally felt her pussy heat up, and then juices trickling out.
When she finally climbed out of the tub, she looked at her fingers, which were as wrinkly as prunes. She bent down to pick up her robe.
Usually, after showering, Sally avoided looking at herself in the bathroom mirror. Today, for some reason and from an unknown place, she mustered up courage. Bathrobe in hand, she looked at herself from a few feet away. Staring at her small naked body, she remarked that the soap residue had made the skin on her breasts look slick, the dampness shining off the bathroom light. She then looked down between her legs and saw her recent secretions clinging to her thighs.

Back in her little bedroom, a serious-minded Sally felt the need to look well groomed and properly dressed for her interview. As she peered into her closet for something neat to wear, she also noticed that she was feeling a lot more relaxed now that she had soaked in the hot bath.
The weather outside was the hottest it had been in a while, so she decided to forego her customary knit tights. Instead, she looked in her dresser for something light and cool to wear. She put on the sheerest nylon stockings she could find, at the same time wondering if the number of panties in her underwear drawer had been dwindling. Never mind, she didn't have time to think about trivial matters at the moment.
Sally took advantage of her still damp hair and tried her best to put it up into a professional-looking bun.
Next, because of the sweltering heat, she threw on a plain white short sleeve blouse, and a gray skirt that extended just below the knee. She would leave her black cardigan sweater in the closet for now, finishing off her "business" look with sensible black flats and her usual thick glasses.
As a little piece of "insurance", she fastened on her pretty canary diamond bracelet, the one Damian gave her a lifetime ago. A little token of luck couldn't hurt, she thought.
Feeling polished enough for the meeting, she would go downstairs, get something to eat, and then head out.
