Head inside and help David finish packing for the beach trip. Then head to the train station and meet Clara and Ryan on the 10:20 to Brighton

You push through the door with your grocery bags, finding David in the kitchen carefully arranging items in a large blue cooler.

"Perfect timing," he says, glancing up with appreciation at your outfit—the emerald bikini clearly visible beneath your sheer white blouse. "Did you get everything?"

"Bread, cheese, prosciutto, and beer," you announce, setting the bags on the counter. "Clara says it's going to be twenty-eight degrees today."

David whistles. "Bikini weather indeed."

You bump his hip playfully as you unpack the groceries, working in tandem as he wraps the cheese in wax paper and arranges the beers in neat rows, cushioned by ice packs. The domesticity of the moment feels oddly natural under Comfort Mode's influence—your body moving in the kitchen with feminine grace, instinctively knowing where everything belongs.

"I talked to Clara," you say, folding the prosciutto between sheets of parchment paper. "She knows a nail salon right by the pier. Thought I might get extensions while we're there."

"Extensions?" David raises an eyebrow, closing the cooler. "Like those really long ones?"

You wiggle your fingers. "At least an inch. I think they'd look cute."

"They'd look hot," he corrects, catching your wrist to press a kiss against your palm. "Especially in that bikini."

Heat blooms low in your belly at his touch. Ten minutes ago you were grocery shopping; now your body responds to his slightest gesture with embarrassing enthusiasm.

"We should head to the station," you murmur, acutely aware of how his thumb traces circles on the inside of your wrist. "Train leaves at 10:20."

"Right." He doesn't release you immediately, eyes darkening. "Beach. Friends. Public places."

"Exactly." You laugh, retrieving your hand. "Grab the cooler? I'll get the towels and sunscreen."

Fifteen minutes later, you're hurrying through Putney station, David carrying the cooler while you manage a canvas tote filled with beach essentials. The emerald bikini under your clothes feels like a delicious secret, the top pushing your breasts together whenever you move.

"There they are," David nods toward platform three where Clara and Ryan stand chatting, looking like they've stepped out of a summer fashion catalog.

Clara spots you first, waving enthusiastically. Her yellow sundress billows around her thighs, revealing glimpses of the bikini she'd mentioned. Beside her, Ryan looks tall and athletic in board shorts and a fitted navy t-shirt that emphasizes his broad shoulders.

"Perfect timing!" Clara calls as you approach. "Train's just been announced."

Ryan greets David with a backslapping hug before turning to you. "Nice to see you again, Mia. Thanks for setting this up."

"Seemed like a perfect day to escape London," you reply, noting the way his gaze lingers appreciatively on your cleavage before returning politely to your face.

The four of you board just as the doors signal their imminent closure, finding seats facing each other in a nearly empty carriage. As the train pulls away from the platform, Clara leans forward conspiratorially.

"So," she grins, "who's ready for cocktails before noon?"
