Chapter 549
Katelina followed her host into the hall to see Marna in a dark blue bikini that matched her midnight eyes. Trivila appeared, her ash blonde hair piled on her head and her red bathing suit straight from the fifties, flirty ruffle and all.
They filed through the house and down to the basement. The pool room was deserted. Bright lights played across the water's surface and threw zigzag shadows on the ceiling and the overhanging leaves of the jungle plants. Annabelle slipped in first and got comfortable in the shallows. Marna jumped into the deeper end with a splash that sent Trivila skittering back, hands to her hair. "I don't want to get soaked."
"Then you shouldn't be in the pool." Marna dove back under, like a dolphin.
Trivila shook her head and climbed in next to Annabelle. Katelina followed uncertainly. Sarah shadowed her so closely that when Katelina stopped, she crashed into her.
