Christina tugged
at Kyoko's sleeve. “Bad idea.”
“Huh?” her
friend said.
“I wouldn't go
inside the boat house right now. Let's talk loudly and make some
noise first,” Christina suggested.
Beneath them
seawater glimmered in the sunshine and the boat house wall was
speckled with mirror shaped reflections of the sun dancing around to
the broken rhythm of the waves under the dock.
Around them
seagulls greeted the summer's day, and any other time Christina would
have regressed to childhood for the joy of showing her best friend
what the Swedish west coast was like in summer.
Now, however, she
needed to make certain they made a ruckus before something really
embarrassing happened. Christina had good reasons to believe her
daughter was inside letting someone else explore her body for the
first time.
“What about a
short swim?” Christina said. The sound of bathing people nearby
should wake anyone up, and if her kid was stupid enough not to get
the message, then the entire party could walk in on the pair as far
as Christina was concerned.
“Now?” Kyoko
asked, but she was already getting out of her dress. Like most of
them she wore her swimsuit underneath.
Moments later
Christina watched how Kyoko hit the surface with a shriek. That's
your wakeup call kids. Make good use of it.
Her kid insisted
on bringing her boyfriend since a couple of months, which in
Christina's world was the same as planning for her sex-debut. As a
mother she didn't mind at all. He was painfully shy and could need
all the help he got from his girlfriend. In a way, but for very
different reasons, he was a bit like Ulf.
