The Blue Lagoon opens ahead of Stella;) and Hana, bright water flashing between rocks and palms. Stella)y catches sight of Marcus at the edge of the shore before he looks up.
In one quick motion, Stella;) tucks the shimmering swimsuits out of sight and smooths her cloak into place, turning the moment into something casual.
Marcus
Oh, hey. I did not expect company out here.
Hana
Marcus. Small world. We just came to relax for a bit.
Marcus
Yeah, of course. The lagoon is basically empty until people start pretending they discovered it first.
Hana gives Stella;) a quick, steadying glance, then shifts her weight toward Marcus with an easy smile that does not quite hide the tension.
The Beach Vendor
If anyone wants cold drinks, I have water, soda, and those fruit cups everybody keeps asking for.
