Chapter 59

“Nathan,” Jim whined again.

“Dude, you’re an adult. You’re not gonna drown in the bath by yourself. If you want to get clean, go do it yourself,” Nathan said. He was not going to budge on this.

“But, Nathan,” Jim argued, “I don’t wanna be in there alone. Can’t you sit in there with me?” He summoned an impressive pout.

Nathan sighed. “Since you’re both in the same boat, why don’t you have Sasha stay in there with you? Then he can take a bath when you’re done and you can stay with him.” Nathan actually hated that idea, but at least they were both in the mindset of being five.

“We can take a bath together,” Sasha suggested.

“No,” Nathan said firmly. “Besides, there is no way you would both fit at the same time. Just get in the tub, Jim. My stuff’s already in there. You can use that.”

“Will you get it ready for me?” Jim asked, blinking at him owlishly.
