Lucas had gone for a swim almost as soon as they arrived, as this was the one âoutdoorsyâ activity with which he was remotely familiar. Dunking under the surface of the water, he swam back toward shore, rising up with water streaming down his chest and shoulders. âThe water feels excellent,â he commented, walking toward his towel. âI would recommend taking a dip.â
âOh, wow! Look at you, Senator!â Nadia shouted, giggling as other girls watched him get out of the lake, admiring. They looked at Nadia, made a face and left. Nadia just laughed, throwing Lucas a towel. âI thought that would get them to leave you alone. Whereâs your big shot security when you need it, huh?âÂ
