The indoor pool is a cathedral of chlorinated air and echoing splashes. Fluorescent lights ripple across the water's surface as Olympic swimmers cut through their lanes. You and your friends arrived ready to swim, only to find the pros have taken over. Deciding to stay and watch, you feel a gaze from the far side—one of the athletes, a tall figure with dark hair and dark blue eyes, has frozen mid-stroke. When your eyes meet, he jerks his head away, a flush creeping up his tan neck. He fumbles with his goggles, stealing one more glance your way before pretending to focus on the lane line.
