them upstairs to rooms where they could take showers and dress in clean clothes that appeared out of nowhere.
    "Here now, this is the hall closet where we keep all the towels and sheets ," Lucy said to both women. "Jasmine, this will be your room and Sophie, yours is across the hall."
    "Thank you so much for being so kind to us ," Jasmine told her.
    "Oh , honey, I'm glad to do it. It's so nice to have people in the house again," Lucy said.
    "You mean the men don't live here full time?" Sophie asked.
    "No, they have places in the city. They usually only come up here when they can take time off. It can get lonely just cooking for two, unless the parents show," Lucy answered.
    "Parents?" Jasmine asked.
    Lucy nodded. "Yes, Phoenix and Gabe's parents come often to visit. They run a winery a little north of here."
    "Wow, that must be nice ," Jasmine said. She wanted to talk further with Lucy but a shower was calling her. "Thank you again, Lucy, for everything. If you don't mind, I don't know about Sophie, but I would love a shower."
    Sophie nodded and Lucy said, "Look at me going on when you two have been through so much. Go on with both of you. Come on down when you are done and I will feed you." Lucy patted them on their backs and headed back downstairs.
    "See you in a bit ," Sophie said to Jasmine as she turned to go in her room, shutting the door.
    Jasmine turned and entered her assigned room as well, gasping at the sight. The room that Jasmine was taken to was huge.  The walls were painted a minty green, light and open.  There was a giant bed in the center of the room, it looked like a four-poster California king that had a deep green comforter and tons of pillows.  There were three large dressers and two nightstands as well as two giant walk-in closets.  She went to the French doors that opened onto a balcony overlooking the back part of the property.  She couldn't see very far, but she could see a lit swimming pool complete with a waterfall not too far away.
    She turned away from the view knowing it would be spectacular during the day and closed the French doors, locking them.  She then saw the door to the bathroom and went through to stand in shock at the room before her.  The large bathroom held a Jacuzzi that could seat four large adults comfortably and a shower that could hold the same number of people.  There was a separate little area with a toilet and a counter with three sinks that had cabinets along the bottom.  She peeked into the shower and saw there were bottles of shampoo and body wash already there.  After noting there were fluffy towels set out on the counter, she quickly stripped down and started the water in the shower.
    She couldn't wait to be clean .  She hadn't taken a shower since she had left her apartment that Friday, the day she had been taken.  She had been able to take small sponge baths in the room she had been kept in by using wet toilet paper with cold water, but that was all. 
    The shower stall had several showerheads all over and when the water turned on, it was like a waterfall.  She tested it to see if it was right temperature and groaned at the wonderful feeling of warm water. After stepping under the spray, she took a moment to just revel in the feel of something she took for granted every day.  It felt so good running all over her body, the warm water releasing some of the tension in her.  She got her hair wet and then washed it thoroughly, then lathered up her body.  When she was done, she didn't want to leave the haven of the water but knew she had to, they were all waiting for her downstairs.
    As she went to step out of the shower, she reached to grab the towel she had hung by the door, only it wasn't there any longer.  She wiped the water out of her eyes and saw Gabe standing there holding the towel open for her.  She didn't say a word as she stepped out, her eyes locked to his.  If she thought too much about the situation, she would be embarrassed and try to hide
