Her eyes were gleaming, indicating her eagerness Bennett's smile turned into a grin. "Of course. I'd love to go for a ride with you, Mrs. Dreskin."

For some reason, she felt like he could see through what she was thinking.

“Alright. I'LL go and wash my face first," Claudia said.

“Go ahead."

Without further ado, Claudia got out of bed and walked into the bathroom.

Bennett waited until she closed the door before he Lifted his arm and brought his unoccupied hand to his slightly sore shoulder to massage it.

When she reemerged, he immediately dropped it to his side as if nothing had happened.

What he did went completely unnoticed by Claudia. She fished out a bottle of sunscreen spray from her bag, turned to Bennett, and asked, "The sun is very strong today. Do you want some sunscreen?"

Bennett gave her a thoughtful look before saying, "Can you put some on me, Mrs. Dreskin?"

With pursed lips, Claudia walked up to him and sprayed sunscreen on his neck and exposed arms.

After a quick preparation, the two of them headed out. Claudia brought Bennett to the motorboat try-out zone. After paying the fee, she received their protective suits and handed one to Bennett. She instructed, "Go and change into this. We'll meet up here Later."

They separated and headed to the men's and women's changing rooms, respectively. Due to her familiarity with donning the protective suit, Claudia came out of the changing room first. She returned to where they parted and waited patiently for Bennett while holding an umbrella.

Soon, Bennett arrived, wearing his own protective suit.

It was the first time Claudia had ever seen Bennett dressed like this, and she thought he Looked rather cool in his black and white protective suit.

When her eyes met his obsidian ones, her face flushed.

She squealed inwardly. Seriously, why did he look so handsome, even in a protective suit?

Claudia had been lost in thought until Bennett took the umbrella from her hand.

Jolted back to reality, Claudia glanced at him and pretended to comment, "Your clothes don't look Like they fit you quite right." Bennett gave her a smile. "The pants are a bit short."

She hadn't really meant much by it, but his response made her gaze drift downward to his legs.

Sure enough, his ankles peeked out from the hem of his trousers. Feeling a bit awkward, Claudia asked, “Do you want to change for a bigger pair?"

"No need. If I change the pants, the matching top might be too big."

“Fair point," she admitted. After all, his legs were quite Long.

30, shall we?" Claudia said, pressing her lips together.

“Let's go," Bennett agreed.
