She just glared at him, not responding. He could sense something bad coming, but he was honest.
"I used more hot water than you allowed..."
"I'm glad that you were honest with me Pet. You saved yourself a hard ball-kicking by telling me, but you know I can't let this slide. I could tell you used too much hot water because the mirror is all fogged up"
"...Oh..."
"I left the room and trusted you to do the right thing, but you didn't. That's on you, and I need to set you straight. It's for your own good"
She was talking slowly, deliberately taking her time. The anticipation of the unknown punishment was making him squirm, he knew he fucked up. She was drawing it out to make him wait, letting him stew in regret.
