[grabs a book and sits by the edge of the pool]

[skepticalities]

[spends a good chunk of time just swimming around, before he eventually floats over to where Peter is sitting.]

[onlyoneof]

So?

[skepticalities]

So what?

[onlyoneof]

Better than movie night?

[skepticalities]

. . . actually, no.

[onlyoneof]

... really?

[skepticalities]

I mean — I like it, it's fun, but it's . . . [trails off, waving a hand] I like doing things with other people.

[onlyoneof]

That's fair.

[skepticalities]

[skepticalities]

[onlyoneof]

[hands it back.]

[onlyoneof]

I haven't read any fiction lately.

[skepticalities]

You've been working a lot, so . . . it's understandable.
