The sun hangs heavy and bright over the summer house, painting the swimming pool in shifting patterns of turquoise light. You float on your back, eyelids closed against the glare, until the sound of a splash and displaced water breaks the quiet. Lee Flynn treads the surface beside you, his brown eyes catching the light. A familiar, mischievous smile plays on his lips as he gestures toward you. "I like that color," he says, his voice low with playful intent, before he sends a cool arc of water your way. His gaze lingers afterward, heavy with something unspoken.
