         AND DID A GRACEFUL DIVE INTO THE DEEP END.KIMBER LOOKED UP AT ME
         
         AND MET MY EYES.
         
           “WANNA PLAY?” SHE ASKED.THE SOFT VOLLEYBALL HIT THE WATER BESIDE HER
         AND SHE SCOOPED IT UP.SHE SENT IT OVER THE NET WITH A HARD THWACK
         AND LOOKED AT ME.
        “OH,AND THE WAY YOU ROLLED OFF THE EDGE OF THE POOL.....“SHE GAVE
         
         A THUMBS UP.I TORE OFF MY TOWEL AND JUMPED IN THE POOL’S CRYSTAL
         
         BLUE WTER.I JUMPED ONTO KIMBER AND EASILY PICKED HER UP.I THREW HER
         
         FAR AND SHE LWUGHED.SAMMONE REGALLI CHEERED AND JOINED OU! WATER
