Valla stripped out of her dress as quickly as she could. She knew her modesty was misplaced: she asks Tommy to turn his head only so she can get in the water naked with him. She knew Abby would be proud of her, but Valla had never been nude in front of a stranger before, especially not a boy ... especially not a boy like Tommy.<br/><br/>She couldn't help from stealing furtive glances at him as he undressed. She would look away, but then look back. She caught him peaking once, and both of them turned away quickly. And yes, his bare bum was just as nice as she had imagined on the beach. Valla was breathing hard as she pulled off the last of her dress and set it on a rock, this time forgetting to fold it neatly. She heard a splash and turned to see Tommy hitting the water.<br/><br/>Not wanting to stand out there any longer than she had to, Valla rushed into the water, diving under the surface for a moment before coming up and shaking out her hair. The water was cold, but invigorating. Fresh water was a welcome break from the ocean.<br/><br/>"It's cold!" she said with a smile. Valla began to wade out toward the center of the pool. "You can swim. I didn't think city folk did much of that."<br/><br/>
