“My mother. He swallowed, and said as much as he could. “My uncles.

She nodded, understanding without words.

“Nobody should hurt anybody, he repeated, and he turned and dived, as if the water could wash away all the bad memories.

They paddled around the pool, quietly at first, until he accidentally splashed her and, after a moments surprise, she retaliated. The battle was on, and before it was over a good third of the pool had wound up on the bank. It was an hour before they came out, giggling and shoving like a couple of kids.

With her wet hair sleeked back from her face and her skin flushed and damp, she looked like she was barely old enough for the sixth grade. He finished dressing first and tapped her on the shoulder. “Tag, youre it!

“No fair! she yelled, and charged after him.

They chased each other down the path, laughing, startling ducks out of the brush at the side of the river and an otter family into the water. She tagged him and surged ahead, and he pounded after her, skidding around a corner and running into her full tilt where shed stopped abruptly at the end of the path. They both crashed to the ground at the edge of the trees.

“Shh, she said, putting her hand over his mouth when he would have yelled.

He looked up and saw.

Bill and Moses. On the porch. Without any clothes on. Bill was on top, her hair a silver curtain around Moses face. His hands were on her hips, muscles flexing in his arms as they moved together. They were so caught up in each other they didnt hear anything else.

Tims jaw dropped and he turned to Amelia. Whatever he had been about to say was halted by the look on her face.

She held one finger to her lips and crept backward, one noiseless movement at a time. Tim followed. She halted in a clearing, out of earshot of the cabin.

He stood still, hands dangling, awed, confused, aroused.

“Is that how its supposed to be? she said, her face bright with wonder.

He told the truth. “I dont know. Liam had come into his mothers life only five months before. Hed caught them a few times in an embrace that was more than a kiss, but nothing like this.

“She was really liking it. Her voice rose to a squeak. “She was on top .

“Yeah, he said, because he didnt know what else to say. He couldnt get the picture out of his mind, the man and the woman doing the nasty, only it hadnt looked nasty, or sounded nasty. It had lookedwell, he didnt know how it had looked. All he knew was that it was nothing like what he had grown up hearing from the other side of the curtain. His body stirred. “Yeah, he said again, his voice husky.

She looked at him, suddenly aware.

They reached for each other at the same time. He was almost as tall as she was, and glad for it. She smelled good.
