laurel had been lazing around all day, avoiding the assignments she had to get done and anything else that came as a responsibility. she was still feeling relatively new to married life, but it hadn’t changed her behaviour much at all. she was still the same clingy brat that she was before, it was just that now she had a ring on her finger and a big house to call her own. she particularly spent a lot of time in the indoor pool, especially in the winter when she could heat up the water and relax. she doesn’t notice anyone at the edge of the pool until she stands back up under the water, clad in a particularly tiny bikini. she swims forward a little, towards where oskar stands and wears a little smile as she leans on her arms. “you’re home early.”
