I'll Always Care

Hazel and Will probably stayed on the lazy river for about an hour. After the first fifteen minutes or so her neck started to hurt but she didn't want to leave yet because of how nice it felt floating around.

He noticed her dilemma and offered to let her rest her head against his chest. If she changed the angle she was sitting in, that would work a lot better. But it was too embarrassing! Will wasn't wearing a shirt!

She caved about five minutes later because her neck was bothering her too much. At least he didn't tease her about it. If she ignored the fact that her head and back were leaning up against a man's bare chest, it was quite comfortable.

Once she got over the awkwardness, Hazel actually fell asleep like that. When she woke up one of Will's arms was stretched out on her half of the tube to help keep her supported. He seemed perfectly at ease, gently kicking his feet back and forth in the water as they hung off the tube's edge.

"You awake, Sleeping Beauty?" he asked.
