“It’s a swing!”

As if that explained everything. But then the girl busied herself brushing off the bits of dirt on Natia’s knees, and it looked almost like an apology.

Natia laughed, shooting her grin over to Simone, which was not fair because it was a damn beautiful smile. Simone tried to scold herself for thinking that, but she couldn’t quite. Natia was gorgeous. It was hard to deny that. Today, she was running around in cutoff capris and a screen-print tank top, her hair loose and looking none the worse for wear despite the heat. It wasn’t as if she was in anything immodest, but the skin on display was driving Simone crazy. It was the most beautiful gold color, Natia’s limbs solid and soft-looking. There was a distinct wish, in the back of Simone’s mind, to go over and kiss Natia’s shoulder or something.

Which was weird, and she should stop thinking that now
