Uncertainty 

Clifford watched as Kelly confidently slipped off her dress, revealing a cute pink one-piece swimsuit that suited her perfectly. Without hesitation, she sprinted toward the water, her excitement palpable.

When she realized he wasn't following, she stopped abruptly, turning back to him with a playful frown.

"Come on! Let's swim!" Kelly called out, waving at him eagerly.

Clifford chuckled at her enthusiasm. With a smile, he quickly removed his shirt and pants, leaving himself in a pair of swim trunks. 

"Come on, slowpoke!" Kelly called out again, splashing water his way as Clifford approached.

"I'm coming, I'm coming," he replied with a playful grin, finally stepping into the cool water.

Then, without another moment's hesitation, he dashed after her.

Kelly squealed with laughter as she saw him coming, immediately breaking into a playful run toward the deeper water. "Catch me if you can!" she teased, her giggles floating through the air.
