He paused for as long as his hand was on her shoulder, but he didn't look up.
The shower soothed away some of his tension and the resulting aches, but his gut still felt like a lump of lead. Rory leaned his forehead against the shower wall and let the spray pelt his shoulders and back, wondering what Pippa wanted him to see. Something to do with her work, perhaps? He'd best find some way to be ready with smiles and praise in that case; he didn't want to discourage her.
After turning off the taps, he stepped out to towel himself down, rubbing vigorously in an attempt to further distract himself. Once he was as dry as he could manage, he returned to the bed to don the khakis and blue button-down he'd laid out, naked and not thinking anything of it.
