FAYE
We came back from shopping a bit late. The sun had already gone down.
The pool looked even more inviting than it had earlier.
Crystal-clear water reflected the evening light, and the neatly arranged lounge chairs surrounding it made the entire place feel like a private resort.
I went upstairs with Irene to change.
When I stepped out of the room a few minutes later, I immediately spotted everyone already waiting near the pool.
Helen had changed into a simple but elegant one-piece swimsuit that somehow still looked expensive enough to belong in a magazine.
Irene walked ahead of me confidently.
I followed a second later.
The moment I stepped outside, I felt someone's eyes on me.
I didn't even have to look. I already knew it was Alexander.
Slowly, I turned my head.
Sure enough
