"Yes. It's a nice, warm day."
She smiles wide, showing her rows of white, sharp teeth, pressing her eyes into a mirthful squint. Then, her eyes shot open, the deep, sparkling blue even more beautiful than the ocean she appeared from; I was entranced.
"Care for a swim?"
Her hand reached out, and I took it before, at once, she pulled me into her arms, both of us tumbling overboard!
