Drinking and Swimming

Most days the pair drank on her bench and staggered back to her house.  One day when I noticed they were no longer on the bench but had not passed my office I wandered down to the shore.  It was a cooler evening and the beach was deserted, just the two of them sitting passing the bottle between them.  I stood for a while watching.

I was about to turn to go back home when Bevin suddenly stood, stripped off his shirt, his shoes, his trousers, his underwear.  Everything.

He stands looking at her and then the sea before diving in

Naked he stood talking to her before turning to the water and diving in.

he invites her to swim, single picture, probably

He called, cajolled, dared her to join him. He shouted there was no one on the beach, the water was great.

Watching, hiding in the dunes

His calls carried faintly to where I was on the dunes.  To the little knoll I had settled behind in anticipation of seeing her disrobe.

He dived under the water and started swimming away from shore and she took the opportunity to strip off her dress and her boots and shoes.  She ran into the water only in her knickers, she was not wearing a bra.

She walks into the sea, step by step.

She dived and swam, near Bevin but not too near.
