The tapes

For me, the safest option! Thinking quickly, a towel can tear, fall, be pulled ... while adhesive tapes stick and can be shaped on the body. I'm obviously not thinking about the consequences of this... not now, under pressure.

"I want to use the tapes, dad!" I say, with a voice a little more enthusiastic than would be right for the moment. While my father runs to get the tapes:

"As you wish, dear!" My mother says, looking sarcastic. Does she have plans for me? When she gives me a wide smile, I have no doubt about it!

Then my dad returns with a dismayed face:

"Sorry, honey, but I thought there was more of that stuff left..."

In his hands, I see that the rolls of tape are almost all at the end!

"Well, but it won't be a problem for you, dear, will it?", My mother keeps smiling. "A lot of skin will be left exposed, but luckily for you, you don't have 'big' things to cover." She looks at my dad and gets a nod from him. "Now, dear, take off your towel and let's see what we can do for you!"
