Rav needed to cool down, in more ways than one, so after Lance left, he stripped off his tank and waded into the lake.

Daisy and Sammy were swimming back and forth between the shore and a wooden dock that was out several hundred yards in the water. The next time they got close, Rav joined the race. He wasn't the most graceful swimmer in the world, or the fastest, but he had a lot of anger to burn off and he attacked the water like a demented mermaid. Even so, he reached the dock seconds after Sammy. Sammy bobbed in the water, his face split wide with a smile.

"You can swim!" he exclaimed, as if Rav had been holding out on him.

"'Course I can swim. What do you think? I know everything."

Daisy laughed. "Don't believe him, Sammy. All men think that."

"Oh I know he doesn't know everything," Sammy said coyly.

Sammy and Daisy exchanged a knowing glance. Rav decided to change the subject.

"I see you're getting the hang of it." Rav mimicked the overhead stroke.

"Yes, it's much faster." Sammy held out one long arm and turned it back and forth, looking at it critically.

"Rav, you can play with Sammy for a while. I'm gonna go eat now!" Daisy chirped.

"Don't eat all the burgers. Save some for us," Rav said sternly.

"He's joking," Sammy told her. "He's so funny!" Humor was Sammy's new thing, and he couldn't get enough of old TCM comedies right now. Daisy just laughed and headed back to shore.

"Don't mow all the grass!" Sammy called out after her. "And don't spill all the Coke! Ha-ha!"

"You're a goof," Rav told him.

"What's that mean?"

"That means you're silly. It's a compliment."

Rav leveraged himself out of the water onto the wooden dock, his triceps bulging, and was slightly annoyed when Sammy swung up beside him so easily he might have weighed nothing at all. Rav wiped the water off his face and beard and smoothed back his hair. As usual, concepts of personal boundaries held no sway with Sammy, and he didn't leave enough room between them for a whisper. His slick arm and side rubbed against Rav's.

"You like the water, I see." Rav said.

"Yes. I forgot how much! I used to swim when I was… young."

"Yeah?"

"Yes. Swimming is very—" Sammy thought about it. "Refreshing."

Rav smiled at Sammy fondly. The shimmering water and sun, and his slicked back hair, brought the lines of his face into sharp focus. God, he was changing so rapidly. It was a little, Rav imagined, like having a child. Parents were always saying things like "He's growing so fast!" Only in Sammy's case, it wasn't his body, but his mind and behavior that were changing, and at lightning speed. He liked using bigger words, picking them up from Rav or the TV or God-knows-where, all as though his brain were a dictionary database. He was getting more talkative, joking and laughing more. He was moving with more swagger too, acting like a tough guy, possibly, Rav realized, imitating Rav himself.
