Chapter 18

Hugo winced a little from the pain when the therapist was doing her job, but he was more focused on Javier, who was obviously used to his face being poked and prodded. Not that he was allowed to stare at Javier for too long because the facial therapist needed to reach different parts of his face, and she couldn’t do that if his head was turned toward Javier all the time. After that, he and Javier had their two-hour couple’s massage session while they were lying on top of their individual massage tables, which were placed side by side in the room. He groaned softly when the massage therapist pressed down on all the right spots and worked out all the kinks and soreness from his body. By the time he was done, he felt light as a feather.

“This is amazing,” Javier said as he half-reclined on a comfortable chair while two therapists sat on either side of him and took care of his fingernails for him.
