Zafron grinned, his feet splashing through the shallow water as he caught up to her. "If I had the chance, I could spend the whole day in the water, Miss" he replied with a carefree laugh, water droplets still shimmering on his skin.

Cassandra chuckled, shaking her head in mock disbelief. "Well, next time, we'll make sure to stay longer. But for now, let's get changed before we catch a chill."
