     He rested his hand below her, cool water swirling through his fingers while Gina was at the surface, eyes closed while she allowed the water to guide her. But little did she know that if she lost focus and went under, Knox was there to catch her.
Knox just stood, watching as the water gently swayed her, her dark hair scattered in the water like a halo around her beautiful face that was fresh of any makeup. Tiny freckles dotted a few areas, her wet lashes thick and black while her full lips held a small smile.

"What do we have next?" she asked, eyes still closed. "I really like those edible paints, we should try them out again tonight."

Knox began to smile, remembering the very 'artistic' things they did with the paint when they were alone the previous day, along with the fact that he was still not over what Gina had drawn on him in class. He had laughed for minutes after finding out she wrote 'Find treasure here,' followed by an arrow that was directed below his shorts.

Knox found it funny even a day later. "Yeah, I like them too and we can definitely try after couples therapy."

"After what?" Gina's eyes finally popped open.

"Therapy," Knox clarified. "We can do it with a group of people or by ourselves, but I think it will be more effective if done with just the two of us."

"Do we have to go? I didn't come here to have a shrink poke around in our relationship," She exclaimed, standing on her feet.

"It's apart of the package sweetheart. And don't be a scardy cat, it won't be so bad," he confidently stated.

She sighed. "Things are just going so good, I don't want a shrink to mess it up."

Knox smiled. "I don't think they mess up relationships honey. I just think they help to reveal what we are scared to tell each other and ourselves," he shrugged.

"Are you afraid to tell me something?"

"Oh, don't turn this around," he laughed and she did too.

Gina shifted in the sofa, trying to be as comfortable as possible even though she doubted the possibility in that. Taking a cushion from behind her, she placed it to the side and smooth out her sun-dress before she cleared her throat.

Seeing how anxious she was, Knox couldn't help his smile. "Are you ok?"

"Fine," she instantly said with a tight smile. "I've just never seen a late shrink."

Knox's forehead wrinkled. "Have you ever seen one before?"

"In the movies they're never late."

Knox snorted. "This isn't the movies babe."
