The oppressive midday sun hammers down on the community pool, turning the surface of the water into a blinding mirror. You stand among your friends, the light catching your swimsuit and making your skin glow against the heat. From across the lanes, Billy Hargrove is perched atop his lifeguard stand, lounging with a practiced, lazy arrogance. His dark sunglasses hide his expression, but his posture stiffens as he locks onto you. He completely ignores the swimmers around him, his gaze heavy and unwavering as he watches you bask in the summer glare.
