After a busy day of bike rides and exploring, they all headed to the villa before dressing up to head out. Evie had brought her small selection of dresses and decided on a tight fitting blue one. It wasn't really her usual vibe but she'd spotted it when she'd gone holiday shopping with Leah and it had just jumped out.

"How do I look?" Evie asked as she appeared into their room.

"You look lovely," Leah told her as she looked up.

Together they headed downstairs, the others all ready and waiting.

"Loving the plaster accessories," Keira laughed.

"Thanks. I think they compliment my outfit really well," Leah replied sarcastically.

They arrived at the restaurant. It was nice and open with music on quietly in the background.

It was a lovely evening with all of them chatting and laughing, a proper girl's meal out. Evie had a sprite while the others all had alcohol.

"Don't worry kiddo, we've got some stuff at the villa. We can crack it open when we get back," Lucy said with a cheeky grin.

"Providing illegal alcohol? I expected better from you," Evie joked.

Once they'd eaten, they strolled back. There was a busker on the street with tipsy people dancing around her. The girls all joined in, grateful for the music and the warm evening air.

Half an hour later and they were home, Lucy cracking open a bottle of wine and pouring them each a glass. She gave Evie hers in a child's plastic beaker and was met with a disapproving look.

"Haha very funny."

The hours flew by and soon enough it was half past one. They had music on and all of them were dancing around the living area. None of them were too past it and they were having a great time.

The villa was lovely. It was spacious and modern. Perfect for a holiday. The first few days they'd been so busy that they hadn't yet used the outdoor pool properly. Evie and Keira had jumped in fully clothed one evening, alcohol fuelling them on, but it wasn't a proper swim.

All of them were splashing around. All of them apart from Evie.

"Where's she got to?" Ellie asked.

"Probably deciding which swimming costume to put on," Keira laughed.

"I'll just go check if she's okay," Lucy said, climbing out of the pool and wrapping a towel around her waist.

She dripped up the stairs and knocked on the bedroom door.

"Kiddo? Are you alright?" she asked.

"Yep," Evie replied but her tone indicated otherwise.

"You sure?"

"Fine."

"Can I come in?"

"Yeah. If you must."

Lucy pushed open the door and found Evie stood in front of the mirror. She had a bikini on and seemed be scrutinising herself completely.

"What's up?"

"Why do I look like this?" Evie asked, running her hands over her stomach.

"What do you mean? You look lovely kiddo."

"No I don't. My legs are all scarred. My stomachs all bulky."

"Evie. You have muscle on your stomach. You're a professional athlete. Muscle is normal. There's nothing wrong with your body," Lucy told her.
