Once done, he turned off the water and stepped out, pulling a towel off the small rack hanging on the wall and exiting the bathroom.
He felt numb, trying to ignore the thoughts of everything that happened that day as he set his jaw and dressed in his pajamas, a simple pair of gray sweatpants and a black sweatshirt.
Instead of throwing his towel in the hamper, he dropped it to the floor and climbed into bed, not bothering to brush his teeth or turn off the bathroom light.
Burrowing under the covers, he closed his eyes and tried not to think about anything, waiting for almost and hour before sleep claimed him and he relaxed completely.
