MRS. MAGNUSSON PLANNED Sunday as a lazy day, so weâre able to hang out on the beach or at the pool all day, breaking only to take naps or eat meals.
After a late lunch, Leo and I are getting settled into a private cabana at the beach. Itâs equipped with a comfortable double lounge with cushions and a drink cooler and curtains that can be pulled all the way.
Iâve never been to the beach like this before. Itâs a surreal experience. Iâm wearing a cute red two-piece. Only moderately revealing, but I still feel ridiculously sexy as I stretch out on the lounge. The breeze is perfect and so is the shade from the cabana since my fair skin doesnât do well with too much direct sun.
I smile up at Leo, whoâs pulling his T-shirt off over his head, mussing his hair in the process.
âIâm going to take a swim,â he says, leaning over to see me better. âYou want to come?â
âNot right now. Iâm full from lunch and too comfortable to get wet. You shouldnât do any heavy swimming right now after that meal.â
âIâm not going to do a lot of swimming. Just get wet. I wonât be long.â
âTake your time. Iâm going to take a nap.â
Iâve never once fallen asleep on the beach, but Iâve also never been so comfortable. I smooth my hair and settle my sunglasses and then close my eyes and relax.
So far, I havenât had a single complaint about the day, except itâs passing too fast.
Leo is only in the water for about ten minutes. When he returns, he flings some water on meâenough to be his normal obnoxious self but not enough for me to get upset about. Then he dries off and stretches out on the lounge beside me.
âHowâs the nap going?â he asks, turning his head toward me. His face is about three inches away from mine.
âIt had barely gotten started before you flung water all over me.â I wipe a stray drop from my belly with a disapproving frown. âWhat if I was asleep?â
âI knew you werenât asleep.â
âHow did you know that? You canât see my eyes behind the sunglasses.â
âIâve seen you when you sleep every night for more than a week now. I know when youâre asleep.â
âHow do you know?â
He just gives me a smug smile as he puts on his own sunglasses.
With a faint snarl, I prompt, âHow?â
âMaybe you snore.â
âI do not snore.â Iâm pretty sure this is true, but I still add after a moment, âDo I?â
âNo,â he admits with a chuckle. âYou donât snore. But you do clutch the blankets when you sleep.â
âWhat?â
âYou clutch the blankets.â He takes the end of his towel and lays it over my stomach and then positions my hand on top of it. Then he curls my fingers into the fabric in a tight clench. âLike that. Always with your right hand and not your left. Like youâre hanging on in your sleep.â
My mouth falls open slightly. âI donât do that.â
âYes, you do.
