Chapter 24

After dinner our hosts invited us out to the pool behind their house. Steve had already told us that the pool was housed in an enclosure of translucent glass, and bathing suits weren’t necessary. I even managed to swim a few laps, with Zeke by my side. I still couldn’t believe how patient he was with me, but I certainly appreciated it. After we exited the pool we settled down in their Jacuzzi, which Steve explained was recessed into the floor. The jets of warm water had a wonderfully relaxing quality.
