[After dumping in a generous amount of bubble bath she fills the large clawfoot bathtub with water that is almost scalding hot, she then pulls her hair up into a high bun and disrobes. She sighs as she lowers herself into the tub, wincing a little at how hot it is against her skin but also enjoying the sensation, it helps ground her back in her body and less in her emotions and thoughts.
She leans back in the tub and opens her book to where she last left off and soon she finds herself so engrossed in The Tale of Monte Cristo that she doesn't hear the front door open, signaling Jason's return, she also doesn't hear him approach the bathroom door. She spends a good half an hour, lounging and soaking in the tub and by the time she climbs out and towels off she's feeling a lot more like herself. More in control.
She wraps herself up in a towel, gathers her things and goes to leave the bathroom so she can get changed into some regular clothes and not her workout gear. When she opens the door she is surprised to find the rose but there's no question as to who left it for her and instead of making her feel confused it makes her smile. She goes into her room and closes the door, letting the towel drop from around her body and for one moment she lets herself stand alone, naked, smelling the sweet aroma of the rose.
It doesn't take long for her to get changed into a big comfortable sweater and jeans and by then she can smell the pizza so she tucks the rose into her pinned up hair and heads out to the kitchen.]
