During his trial day, the lifeguard trainee was cleaning the pool with the careful calm of someone who wanted to make a good impression. The sun shimmered on the clear water, and the silence was broken only by the soft sound of the net moving through the surface.
That’s when he saw her: the boss’s wife, lying on a sunbed by the pool. He had already met her during the interview, but seeing her there, relaxed and smiling, was something else entirely. She had that doll-like quality — perfect, polished, almost unreal — yet in her eyes there was something alive, magnetic.
Their eyes met for just an instant, but it was enough. He felt a shiver run through him as she lifted her lips into a faint smile that said more than words ever could. Neither of them spoke, yet the air between them seemed to thicken with something new, something secret.
