"Jim!" Sharon called up the stairs. "I'm going to take a bath. I feel so dry all of a sudden. I'll put on the clothes that you bring once I'm finished." Conveniently, Jim had a small bathroom in his basement, as well as his lab, because he begrudged spending any more time than was absolutely unavoidable away from whatever project he had on the go. (He also had a kitchen and a bedroom in the basement, for the same reason.)
Sharon went into the bathroom and ran herself a nice deep lukewarm bath. For some reason she felt that she didn't want the water any hotter than that. Then she eased herself into the water, and lay there relaxing for a couple of minutes with her eyes closed. Yes, that felt much better.
Then she opened her eyes again, and what she saw made her shout: "Jim!!!"
Jim dashed into the bathroom to see what was the matter, and his mouth dropped open. The water had transformed Sharon.
