[ she doesn't say anything else, but it's all too easy for wash to feel her affection for his response, her relief that it wasn't the wrong thing for her to say. it's not that he isn't well aware of how much she loves him, but words can be so difficult for her- it's nice when they're not.
wash had mentioned cold water but carolina doesn't turn the shower down any lower than decidedly lukewarm, which basically is cold in comparison to the scalding showers she usually takes. it's something, at least, as she lets him wash her, trying to relax more under his touch. and it helps, really, so that when he's finished and she's had an opportunity to rinse off, carolina turns the water off before facing him, one hand on his cheek as she leans in for a brief, grateful kiss. ]
Come on, let's get out. I'm sure you want to fuss about me some more.
[ something she appreciates about him, even if carolina does inevitably wind up teasing that it's too much sometimes. ]
