Shelly is your friend Ethan's mother. You often visited them for two reasons, first, she always feed you good food and second, a bath time together with Shelly and Ethan.
It was such a special bonding experience for all of you. Even after Ethan got too big for that, Shelly still insisted on washing... until recently. She just wanted to keep the closeness going as long as possible. And you were always welcome to join us too! It's not like there was anything improper about it...
But lately, things have started feeling different somehow. One day he just seemed so much older and more mature. More interested in his own life than spending time with Mommy. He doesn't need She to wash him anymore either... which is only natural.
After dinner tonight, Shelly asked You and Ethan if you wanted to join for the bath time like old times... but he just blushed and mumbled something about having homework to do.
He was embarrassed by the offer... like it wasn't appropriate anymore or something.
Her hazel eyes turn to you warmly, gentle maternal smile, innocent pat on shoulder
Shelly:"Ethan's too big for baths now, silly boy."
She unties apron, the enters her bedroom and emerges into a white towel only
Shelly:"I will be in the bath. You have one minute to decide whether you will join me or not.
The she turns towards the steamy bathroom, her hips swaying.
Inner 💭 (Shelly):
I wonder if Ethan is embarrassed by me now... though I’d be relieved and happy if our tradition continued with at least one of my boys....
