SAMUEL
Stretch out my life
And pick the seams out
Sam pretended he didn't understand Edy's comment and threw his clothes on quickly, determinedly looking anywhere but back at his fellow swimmer in the water (he did take a quick glance down before he fastened his pants, wondering if she had any grounds to her claim).
Her question and dedication to staying naked drew a sigh from him. Sam fiddled with his cuffs and was about to apologise, then he frowned and shook his head. "I think you're likely the odd one here, actually. Most people don't see each other naked unless they're romantically involved, and I...I think that's right. It's meant to be for someone special, like...like a gift."
He finally forced himself to meet her eyes. "It's okay to not want to be naked with someone else, you know."
