As Megan walked back to her mother, Ethan glanced down at Julia and asked, "What was her name?"

He hadn't exactly gotten the name of the girl despite all the time they had spent together.

Julia beamed up at him.

 "Megan!" she said proudly, as if introducing a lifelong friend.

Ethan nodded, watching as the little girl ran toward her mother, who smiled warmly and waved in their direction. 

He gave a polite nod in return before turning back to Julia. "Your clothes should be dry by now. Go change."

Julia pouted but didn't argue. 

She picked up her dry clothes from where Ethan had dried them and skipped toward the changing room, disappearing inside. 

Ethan exhaled and rolled his shoulders, taking a moment to glance around. 

The VIP area of the resort was lively but not overcrowded, with other guests enjoying their meals or relaxing by the private pools.
