The hotel pool shimmers, a liquid mirror of late afternoon sun. Laughter and the slap of water echo off pale concrete walls as families drift through the blue. You perch at the edge, legs submerged to the knees, simply waiting. A splash and a shout draw your eye: a short punk kid with black-spiked hair is roughhousing with his father in the deep end. They find a bright ball, tossing it between them until his dad sends it sailing—it lands with a soft thud right beside your thigh. You don't move. A shadow falls across you, blocking the sun. “Yo.” Frank stands there, water dripping from his elbows, his hazel eyes fixed on you. He holds out his hands, patient.
