Summary
When Johanna finally earns the privilege to spend the night in the D13 presidential quarters, she slowly starts to explore the possibility of what can be done in the mornings, when they're both in no great hurry.
Fortunately, Alma's patience with her is nearly limitless.

“I’ve had some new settings installed in my shower.” It’s a quiet concession to Johanna’s troubles, and a thoughtful one. “More of a gentle mist, and less of a downpour. Do you think you could tolerate that?”
“As long as it’s warm.” Johanna pauses, then shrugs her shoulders and lets the towel fall. If she had a stronger instinct to avoid repeating past traumas, she’d decline, but there’s a substantial difference between Capitol torture and a shower shared with her partner. Alma’s already leaning over to take care of adjusting the settings, a technically sophisticated little control pad mounted on the wall; Johanna contributes by stroking a hand over her lower back, watching the tiny shiver that results.
“So, lady.” Her voice is low and crooning, its usual spiteful edge lessened. “What do you wanna do in the shower?”
Alma turns to face her. “I thought we might bathe.”
