His attempts to act normal failed as they swam together in the cool water of the pool. They played and splashed water at each other, but the laughs we...e forced.After a few minutes Gloria said, "It's too cold to swim now. Let's go back inside."The tension between them was tremendous when they were back in the room. Kurt fumbled with his towel and took a long time drying off. He glanced nervously at the two beds in the room, and then glanced at his mother.Gloria knew what the boy was thinking.. Someone would be in to take them, at various times during the day.
