"When did we get a pool?" I asked, staring at the water. For the longest time, I had refused to go swimming; I hadn't wanted to bare my scars. But now that they were gone, there was no reason I shouldn't give it a try again... after all, I had loved to swim as a child. Of course, it would have to wait until I had regained some strength. But, at the very least, I could dip my feet into the pool! 

"let's sit by the water," I said, enjoying the caress of the sun on my skin. I was probably going to sunburn, of course; my skin had never been any good at withstanding the sun, and being cooped up inside for over a month couldn't possibly have helped that. But, in the moment, I was enjoying the sensation!
