Sleepless (Curse Of The Blood Fox Trilogy, Book #1) - Plot & Excerpts
Only one door led to it, lockable from the inside. A tile path from the doorway led through the grassy courtyard to the middle, where aquamarine tiles spread out into a square surrounding a large tub in the ground. A hand pump sat at the edge, and when I started pumping, hot flowing water came pouring out into the clean basin. I wasn't sure how Madam Jin had managed it, but her new addition was a magnificent piece of work. Inside the large bath there were steps to sit on, and beside it there was a stone shelf where Madam Jin had left out all sorts of scrubbing materials and soaps that smelled like jasmine. I stripped off my stained festival robe and under-cloths, my many belted daggers and especially those ridiculous ribbons, though they were difficult to remove and took some of my hair with them. It was as if time had ceased to matter, now that I was here. I entered the water and submerged myself entirely in its warm body, made vast by my closed eyes. As it consumed me, nostalgic memories sprouted behind my eyelids.
