...i helped her onto a float and as i did, i brushed against her breasts. i was still in the water when she was already lying flat on her stomach on the float. she turned toward me. her hair was in her eyes and she was laughing. i hoisted myself up next to her. it was nice, and, sort of joking around, i let my head fall back and rest on her stomach. she didn't say anything so i left it there. i had the whole sky in my eyes and it was blue and gold. on the back of my neck i could feel marie's heart beating softly. we lay on the float for a long time, half asleep. when the sun got too hot, she dove off and i followed. i caught up with her, put my arm around her waist, and we swam together....
