Relaxation and conversation

[happy_dsign]

Daphne sat on a rock at the edge of the waterfall's pool, leaning back on her hands and dangling her feet into the cool water. It was a peaceful place, with a constant cool mist on her face and the low vibration of the falls thrumming through her arms. The bikini she wore wasn't exactly what she'd had in mind, but the clothes box refused to give her a one-piece or even a tankini, so she'd given up and gone with the best one it had offered. At least it was cute and not too skimpy. And the little skirt that went over the bottoms was actually kind of adorable, she thought.

Her head tilted back, soaking up the sun's rays, eyes half-closed as she just relaxed and basked. Most of the time she was active, either working in the bakery, going to school, working out or just shooting some hoops, but right now--she was taking a rare moment to just be. To not dwell on all of the things that tried to creep back into her thoughts. It took some effort, but the setting helped.

"I know," Cissie said sympathetically. She leaned over to offer Daphne a hug. She knew all too well about the whole not wanting to ruin a friendship thing over a crush. Okay, yeah, it was working out well for her and Bart but she only had to look at Cassie and Kon for a good example on how things could go wrong and really awkward.

"Do you want me to hint around and see if I can get something out of him?"

Daphne smiled sheepishly. "Would you mind? I don't want to impose."

"I wouldn't mind at all," Cissie reassured Daphne. "He won't even suspect anything, I promise."

"Thank you so much," Daphne said, hugging her impulsively.
