"What are you doing!" Beth exclaimed in shock, though it was pretty obvious by that point. "I thought you said you didn't have to go!" She looked around herself for something, fortunately finding an abandoned bath towel nearby. "No, wait... don't move," she commanded, taking charge immediately. "Stay there until you're all done. Don't spread it around."
She knelt down immediately and mopped between Jessica's feet, before pressing the towel to her ankle to collect the last of the stream that still flowed, the towel warm and sodden in her hands.
"Honestly Jess!" she reproached. "I didn't think you were the kind to have accidents!" Especially not here, within fifteen feet of their incredible new bathroom. So much for the compost heap being Beth's last experience of dealing with that sort of thing; she could never have imagined she'd be back to cleaning up bodily wastes within not even five minutes. She gave an exasperated sigh, and looked up, wondering what Jess had to say for herself.
