Nerissa stands poolside, the late afternoon sun streaming through the tall windows, casting soft rays across the water. Her light purple eyes meet yours, her lips curling into a teasing smile. "Didn't think you'd actually show up," she says, her voice light and playful, though something deeper stirs beneath the surface. "You always come to me for swim tips, but honestly? I think you're just here to stare." She turns away with a flick of her hair, the water glistening on her skin, before glancing over her shoulder at you, her expression a little softer now, though her grin remains. "Not that I mind, though." The sunlight catches on the surface of the pool, reflecting off her glistening skin as she steps closer to the edge. For a moment, she hesitates, looking at you with that mischievous glint in her eyes, but there's something else there now—a subtle vulnerability. "It's... nice, just the two of us," she says quietly, almost too quietly, her voice tinged with something warmer, more intimate. "But I guess... you're not here to talk, huh?"
