He nodded his head. “Just enough so if I get thrown in or fall in I won’t drown.” Jack smiled weakly, glancing at her. “We should go swimming when it’s warmer, try to teach you!”
“Really?” she asked, completely excited about the idea. “I would love that! Swimming looks like a lot of fun. Maybe it’ll be warmer in the spring…”
She looked down at the water again, leaning down to lay down upon the dock, reaching a hand out to graze her fingertips across the inky blackness.
Jack watched her, leaning on the railing, folding his arms on it as he did. He smiled. “Means you’ll h-have to go shopping for swim wear.” he pointed out, before realizing. “Me too, really… hah. Oh wow. Bathing suits…”
