An evening of unexpected solitude. A steamy bathroom filled with vanilla scents and soft music. After months of constant family demands and work responsibilities, she finally has the house to herself.

Between the warm water caressing her skin and the peaceful quiet surrounding her, what begins as simple relaxation transforms into an indulgent night of rediscovering herself and the pleasure of her own touch.
