Rachel was aghast at the whole scene but it only got worse when Timmy skipped back into the house. Pam then turned to her and said, “Okay Rachel, your turn.”
Rachel cringed as the woman looked her over and clucked her tongue. “My oh my it looks like someone had fun after all!” Pam declared.
Rachel kept her eyes on the ground as the woman took her hand and began to scrub it clean. The cold water of the garden hose poured over her arms and then her head while Pam cleaned her. “My what a messy girl you are Rachel!” she exclaimed more than once.
It was all too much for the woman and she began to cry in earnest. Tears streamed down her blushing cheeks. She could taste their saltiness as they reached her lips. Pam heard the girl’s sobbing and stopped scrubbing for a moment, kneeling to look into Rachel’s eyes.
