Slowly taking a sip of water, piercing blue stare locked on Virvaine. “You’re not eating anything.”

“Why are you being weird, [𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘦𝘳]?” * 🔵👄🔵

"I mean -" "To each their own. No one can make you interact with people. You're probably happier that you don't, huh?"

"Yeah. Yeah. I do think I've seen you there." "But not since..." He thinks on that for a minute. "Not a very social butterfly, are you?"

There are a few houses around the lake so he didn't press further for detail. "I'm Steve, by the way." "I think we may have met before. Did you by chance come by Family Video one time?"

Nodding. "Yeah. My mom lives in that white house over there." Pointing his thumb over his shoulder. "I like to come down here and ... and... think." He looks the girl over trying to place where he'd seen her before.

"I guess I thought I was alone..." "And I guess that I never would have suspected someone would be hanging out under the dock." "Do that often?" He tries to joke.

She's already up here ... "Uhm. No. Go - go ahead." Moving slowly to adjust himself to sit on his knees.

Squinting a little... "Wha- what the actu-" Easing down on his knees, a hand softly supporting his balance. "Do you have a habit of scaring the shit out of people? Holy hell..." Taking a dependable breath. "You almost turned me into a ghost."

"Ohmygod!" Completely withdrawing from the water, scrambling to get up on his feet. "What the hell?" Heart beating so hard that it nearly comes out of his chest.

"Shit!" Quickly jerking his feet from the water before his mind can 'rationalize' that it must've been a fish. Maybe even a turtle? Lowering lega back towards the water, trying to forget the instance.

It was a rare Sunday when he didn't have plans with anyone so he took himself out for a drive and ended up stopping by the lake for visiting some old memories. Now he's sitting with his legs dangling off the dock, feet submerged into the cool water on this hot day.
