"In the guest room. And it's already getting pretty late, so Brian and Anna it's time for bed."
While there are momentary complaints, both of the younger siblings don't seem to have a problem going up to their rooms, which leaves Zoe, Catherine, and you remaining in the living room. You and Zoe chat with Catherine for a while while snuggling on the couch, though the topics remain conversational, just things about the upcoming school year and her work at the animation studio.
Catherine eventually stands up and declares that it's time for everyone to turn in, "We all have to get our sleep. You know we have a very busy week ahead of us, right Zoe?" She says with a subtle wink in Zoe's direction. Seems strange considering that it was the summer, but maybe they just mean cleaning up around the house, which you're more than happy to help with. As you all head up the stairs to the bedrooms together, you ask for the bathroom.
"It's right down the hall, between Zoe's room and yours," Catherine says casually.
"Thank you Miss Robinson," You say as you dig through your bag for your toiletries.
"Please, call me Catherine, we're going to spend a lot of time together in the future," She says smiling. "And no funny business you two, I'm going to check on you in thirty minutes and you better be asleep." She turns and enters the master bedroom.
Zoe blushes and smiles at you, giving you a peck on the cheek, "You can take the bathroom first, I'll be there after you." She slips into her room, leaving the door slightly ajar.
You toss your clothing bag in the guest room and carry the portable toiletries bag to the bathroom. After unloading all of your soaps next to the spacious, claw-foot bathtub you set your toothbrush next to the sink. Rifling through your bag, you realize that you must have forgotten your toothpaste, but its no big deal, your sure they won't mind if you use there's. On the sink's edge sits a fully emptied tube that you try to wring just a little more paste out of, but to no avail. Cupping your hand to smell your breath, you can tell it's not that bad, but you had been hoping to sneak one last make-out session with Zoe before bed, and minty breath was a necessity.
Feeling guilty about searching the cabinets, you look for where they might keep additional toothpaste. No sign of it in the cabinet under the sink or the medicine cabinet, you suddenly notice a cabinet located next to the bath. It was up high where Anna and Brian probably couldn't reach, maybe they kept extra toiletries in there? You decide to open the high cabinet and check, seeing as you couldn't find toothpaste anywhere else.
As the door swings open, you find yourself at eye-level with what must be hundreds of sex toys. Momentarily taken aback, you realize that this is perfectly normal, but are still surprised to see the number of dildos and butt-plugs of various sizes from small to enormous, as well as strangely shaped vibrators in this cabinet that extends at least six feet into the wall. While you are about to close the cabinet and end your invasion of privacy, you suddenly notice something out of place.
Reaching until you are about shoulder deep in the wall, you gingerly pull out a fleshlight. Thankful that it was clean, you wonder what it is doing there, as this cabinets location was obviously chosen to not admit Brian, who was only ten anyway and too young for something like that. Looking it over in proper light, you can see that while very sanitized, the fleshlight had clearly seen a great deal of usage, and the artificial lips and chamber seemed to be relatively beaten up. Flipping it over in your hand you are shocked when you see the word "Zoe's" written in permanent marker along the outside.
Trying to comprehend the meaning of the message, you only find more questions. Had this belonged to one of Zoe's ex-boyfriends and she had kept it? What would she use it for? Should you be concerned?
Riddled with curiosity, you nevertheless decide that this is enough for tonight and reach to place the toy back where you grabbed it from, when a thought occurs to you. If you were to leave this out where Zoe could see it, you would be able to listen and perhaps watch from the guest room to see what she does with it, even if she just immediately puts it away that would indicate a level of recognition. Another part of you knows that you shouldn't be prying and definitely not manipulating her, and that you should simply close the cabinet and go straight to bed.
