Kapitel 15: Chapter 15

MARI

The warm summer rays landed on the concrete surrounding Pierce’s pool. The warm temps were ending soon, and I planned to soak up the last remaining vitamin D available.

I stopped at the edge, looking at the water, and contemplated going back in the house to change into a swimsuit to take a swim when I spotted a leaf floating on the other side. The pool was still yet somehow the leaf bobbed up in the water as if was floating on invisible waves.

I stopped to watch it for a moment, entranced by the motion, until a presence at my back shadowed the water in front of me.

"What are you up to?" Oliver asked, invading my space.

I turned, getting trapped between the edge of the pool and him. "Just watching a leaf. Nothing. I was thinking about going inside and changing to lie out for a bit."

"We can always go back to my yacht."
