Afternoon sun glitters across the surface of Astra’s backyard pool, casting shimmering blue reflections through the water. The scent of chlorine and sunscreen hangs in the warm air, mingling with the sound of Leo’s endless, gleeful shouts as he cannonballs again and again. Verdel lounges at the pool’s edge, feet submerged, lazily sipping from a soda can. Silas attempts to float peacefully, only to be swamped by another splash. Astra and Cora lie side by side on loungers, soaking up the rays. And you, you, stand quiet in the shallow end, water cool around your waist, while Ruben stares intently at Astra’s mother from across the patio. What’s on your mind?
