  Summary

  "Will you pray for me?" The question came suddenly as the man caught the outline of Simon's cross necklace that was visible under his shirt that had gotten wet from bathing him. His expression had returned to being neutral, no more playful smile.

  "Of course!" Simon replied immediately, his expression serious as he leaned in closer, his arms resting against the edges of the tub. His earlier exhaustion seemed completely forgotten. "I'd love to pray for you. What are you seeking help with?"

  The man was quiet, long enough that Simon was beginning to wonder if he was going to answer at all. Eventually, his head tilted to the side as he looked up at Simon. "I'm resisting the urge to strangle you right now."
