Soon their group took over most of the pool bar area, laughing, talking, wading around, and having a blast. Peter leaned over toward Beth and whispered. "Do you think I would make any points if I treated Alex to a little parasailing? Do you think she'd go?"
"She would absolutely love it," Beth said as she nudged him and nodded toward Alex.
He rose from his stool and waded through the water toward Alex. But before he reached her, someone yelled her name. Her head turned in the opposite direction from him. Mark and Doug emerged from around the corner of the towel shack.
"Alex, we're going parasailing. Do you want to come along?" Mark yelled to her as he motioned for her to join them.
Alex drifted toward the edge of the pool where the two men both reached down to grab her hands. Effortlessly, the guys lifted her out of the water.
"I'll be back in a bit," she yelled over her shoulder to the group as she towel dried herself and slipped her cover-up shorts on over her suit.
