Both her hands slide up his back, the fingers of one running through his hair as she touches his face with the other and it's like every single time she touches him she's aware that she's never gone out of her way to touch someone like this before. She's so good at faking it, but it's always been impersonal. She's had fun of course, she's enjoyed herself, but this is more than just fun. With others she's avoided using their names, she's avoided kissing where possible and she certainly hadn't stayed, but right now she doesn't want to be anywhere else.

At his question, she remembers the envelope lying somewhere in the guest house. The reason she'd been out there in the water. She'd meant to come and find Corrine, possibly, or Les and then she hadn't been able to, but maybe it was because she'd needed today to be sure he was someone she could tell these things to. She doesn't trust people because no one has ever given her a reason to, but he's seen every last bit of her as a siren and he's still here.

"No," she says with a small, genuine smile. "I swim in the mornings. I was..." She pauses, because she doesn't want to say these things while he's still inside her. She wants to just enjoy this for a few more moments before she has to tell him. "I got some strange news today. I'll tell you about it if you kiss me again first."
