She had been thinking about it since they first arrived. The clear, green-blue waters of the Solomon Sea had been calling to her and she had finally worked up the courage to answer.

"You're really doing this?" Neville asked, eyes falling down to her chest as she unhooked her bra and pulled it out from under her shirt.

"I really am." It would be a waste of this secluded spot and the tropical weather not to. She walked towards the open door of their bungalow, shedding her skirt on the way. From here she could jump right into the warm water that surrounded them. Hannah pushed her knickers down and kicked them aside, looking over her shoulder. The shirt was long but didn't quite cover everything, a fact that had not gone unnoticed by Neville.

She had been a bit worried about going on this trip because the warm weather would mean less clothing. Hannah wasn't one to obsess over it but sometimes it did bother her that her upper arms and thighs weren't as slim as she would like and her belly would never be flat. It took a couple days for her to stop caring and to remember that Neville never had.

Taking her shirt off, she tossed it behind her and giggled when she saw it had landed on Neville's head. "Sorry."

"Remember, no pants allowed in the water," she called before jumping in. The water swallowed her, feeling even better than it had when she'd worn a bathing suit and she was instantly sorry she hadn't done this sooner.

Hannah resurfaced in time to hear a loud splash to her left. She looked around, the torch light from their bungalows not doing much against the darkness that enveloped the area. Neville splashed to the surface beside her, wrapping his arms around her when he did.

"This was a brilliant idea," he said softly as he kissed her cheek.
