When she enters her house after a week-long business trip, she goes straight into her kitchen, opens her fridge, takes out the first bottle of water, and drinks it in one go. 

She isn’t that thirsty. She just wants to let herself know that she is finally home. No more ‘Sirs’ and ‘Madams’ and acting all professional. She gives out a long ‘Ah!’ followed by an even longer and louder burp. 

She keeps the bottle back in the fridge, opens the window for ventilation, and walks into her bedroom to get some clothes. She wants to take a quick shower.
