Sneak Peek – A Glimpse Inside the Scenario
Here’s a short glimpse of scenario:

It started in the water.
Open pool. Mid-afternoon heat. People scattered in and out. Quiet enough to breathe, loud enough to disappear.
She swam past me once, slow, deliberate strokes, eyes closed, wet hair slicked back. I barely noticed the world after that.
I changed lanes.
The second time we crossed, our eyes locked underwater for a second too long.
Something passed between us. Not words. Something heavier.
Later, I was sitting by the edge when I saw her again, stepping into the jacuzzi.
She didn’t look at me. But she didn’t need to.
She sat down. Steam rising around her shoulders. Legs drawn in. Eyes half closed.
I followed.
The water was hot. Bubbles loud enough to cover a whisper.
We were the only two inside.
Still, we didn’t speak, not at first.
Just silence, glances. The edge of something.
She shifted, just a little. Let her knee brush mine.
Then she opened her eyes.
“You’re not from here, are you?”
I smiled. “Vacation.”
She smirked. “Same.”
Our legs touched again. Neither of us moved.
“Alone?” she asked.
“For now.”
Her lips curved. “Lucky me.”
We kept talking. Nothing too deep.
Travel. The heat. How quiet it was today.
But every line felt like a layer peeled off.
Then she did it.
She stood up slowly, water streaming off her skin, and said,
“It’s too hot in here. I need to change.”

It started in the water.
I’d just done my second lap when I saw him, arms stretched along the edge, head tilted, watching.
Not in a creepy way. Just… aware. Calm. Like he wasn’t there to swim at all.
Our eyes met.
And I didn’t look away.
I did another lap. Slower this time.
Let my body glide. Let the water move across my skin.
When I surfaced again, he was still there. Same spot.
Still watching.
He smiled. Just a little.
Something about the way he didn’t force it, it got under my skin.
I pulled myself out of the pool, smoothed my swimsuit, and walked past him.
Close enough to feel the shift in the air between us.
Then… I slipped into the jacuzzi.
Warm bubbles. Softer light. Quieter.
A few seconds later, he joined me.
He didn’t sit close at first. Just across from me.
But his knee brushed mine under the surface, not quite an accident.
We made small talk.
Where are you from? Are you here alone?
But there was weight behind every question. And heat behind every smile.
At one point, I stood up, slowly.
Water streamed down my body, and I let the heat cling to my skin just a moment longer.
“It’s too hot in here,” I said, my voice calm but clear.
“I need to change.”
