"Okay." she said as she went into her closet to get undressed.

In the meanwhile, Punk set up Lacy's bath for her, making sure the water was warm enough. He put some bubbles in it as well and lit up some candles, really wanting her to relax. "It's all set."

Lacy came out with her hair up in a ponytail and wearing her bath robe, having undressed already. "Hm?"

"I uh-" gulp. "said the bath is all set."

"Perfect." she said. "Thank you."

"You're welcome." he said as he kissed her forehead. "...well, I guess I'll let you be." he told her. "I'll wait for you in the room."

'Okay." she said as she watched him leave before slipping off her robe and getting into the bath, letting herself relax some. After about twenty minutes, she got out of the tub and dried herself off before slipping her robe back on and heading out into the room.

"How was it?" he asked as he looked over when she walked into the room.

"It was nice." she said as she looked for something to put on. "Thanks, Phil."

"You're welcome." he said. "Before you get dressed, how about that massage?"

"Is this your excuse to see me naked?" She teased him a little

He chuckled. "I mean it helpssss..."

She snorted a little with a laugh. "Good try." she said as she slipped on a pair of bra and panties under her robe and went over to the bed.

"I suppose it was." he said and just grabbed some oil. "I have to spread this on your back, so you'll have to pull the straps down then."

"Is something wrong?" she asked.

"No. Why?" he asked.

"Just wondering." she said she slipped out of her robe and laid down for him.

"Well, you don't want me to see you naked, so if you feel more comfortable putting your straps down, then go ahead." he chuckled as he put the oil in his hands.

"Does that bother you?"

"Just makes me feel like I don't do it for you anymore." he said. "But I want you to be comfortable around me, so if you're not, then it doesn't matter how I feel."

"I'm not used to being like that around you anymore." she said. "So I just cover up because that's what I'm used to. You have to admit that even when we were having sex a few months ago they weren't the most intimate experiences."

He nodded. "It got a bit awkward huh?"

"It just felt like something we felt like we were supposed to do instead of something we wanted to do." she shrugged. "To me anyway. It took me a while to accept it but we just don't make love anymore. We have sex. Which is why I didn't have a problem with taking a break when your leg was messed up because I wasn't in the mood for it anyway and there wasn't any feeling behind it. So I guess it's a little off-putting now that you want to give me bubble baths and massages."

"I wanted to try and maybe get that spark back." he said. "I want us to be able to make love again and have that pure, raw emotion behind it."

"And you honestly don't think we're too far gone for that? Because I kind of do." she said honestly.
