Time Is Gold

While James was walking back to the villa, he decided to send a text message to Ava. Although he knew better to just continue with what he was doing, he couldn't help himself. He wasn't sure yet what he was feeling towards her; all he knew was that he wanted to spend as much time with her as possible.

*Ding!* Ava's phone inside her shorts' pocket made a noise then vibrated. It was loud enough for her to hear, although they were in a game. She raised her hand to stop the game. "One sec. I'll be right back!" She hollered as she went to sit on one of the beach chairs.

Everyone decided to take a break for a drink and go to the restroom. 

Still panting, trying to catch her breath, she checked to see who sent her a message. When she saw that it was James, she briskly read it. Her eyes were smiling as she read the message. 

James: [If you're free later before dinner, would you like to play a game? It's been a while since we played.]
