After Will returned Daphne safely back into the shallow water she just stood there for a while. Most of what he said went right past her. Her face was burning, and not because of the sun. There was a knot in her stomach and it twisted uncomfortably. 

[color=gray]“And we’ll talk later, Daph.”[/color]

Her thoughts started spiraling and so did her emotions. Viktor sounded like the first day all over again. That time in the mall where he wanted to walk and talk. She'd been dreading to speak to him then just as she was now. What if all the progress they made was ruined now? 

She was so dumb. Of course this wouldn't look good. The only place where something like this would get a pass was in a tv series.

When she finally got out of her head she noticed Will smiling at her reassuringly. She forced a smile.
[color=Lightgreen]"It's fine..." [i]But it wasn't really[/I][/color]
[color=Lightgreen]"I think I'm just going to get out of the water, it's a bit cold." [i]Seriously Daph?.... cold?[/I][/color]

She couldn't keep up the smile any longer, so she made her way back to the towel without a glance back at Will. Daphne flopped down onto the sand, feeling defeated. She already knew this feeling wasn't going to go away, not until the dreaded talk. But even then she wasn't sure she'd feel better afterwards and that scared her. 

[color=Lightgreen][i]Did he hate her now?[/i][/color] 

It took him such a long time to love her, if they went back to the way they were at the beginning.....
