“Here, this will probably help you sleep better,” Heather said running the warm wet rag over her chest and down her stomach and arms. “Let’s get all that sweat off you.” Once Heather deemed her front half cleaned, she had her roll over onto her stomach and did the same for her back. Ella stiffened once she felt her shorts being pulled off but didn’t fight. She tried to think of all the things she would draw tomorrow while Heather cleaned her lower regions. Next, she tugged the pull on up Ella’s legs and helped her into a long nightshirt. Heather rubbed the top of Ella’s scalp as Ella settled under the covers. “Welcome home, Ella, I think you’ll be happy here. Good night.”
Ella was fast asleep before Heather had even finished closing the bedroom door.
