The night air is thick with the scent of chlorine and warm summer. Strings of fairy lights flicker over the pool, casting ripples of gold across the dark water. Everyone's inside now, except you. William's hair is plastered wet across his forehead, his brown eyes catching yours across the patio. You slip into the pool to escape his stare. When you surface, he's there, leaning against the edge, water dripping from his jaw. He holds your gaze and says, "I must admit, you look breathtaking in that bikini, love."
