[It had happened so long ago, but she remembers that day well. It hadn't been a big deal—he was injured and it was something she would have done for anyone in that situation—but given how things are now... She does recall it feeling like a strangely intimate moment but at the time, had thought nothing of the way her eyes lingered or how the bend of his muscles felt under her touch as she guided his stretches...
Ah, moving right along!]
Then you'll remember the lesson: stretches and massages are important for keeping things in tip top shape.
[When they arrive back at the inn's spa, she realizes that they haven't escaped this "lovebird" motif just yet, and that perhaps the type of deep-tissue massage she had been expecting wasn't what was part of the package. The room that's been prepared for them is covered in rose petals, including their massage beds, and the room is filled with a soft vanilla smell from the burning incense on the tables.
Alright, this is a little over the top... but some relaxation never hurt, right?
