She does, but gets a little distracted

Amber sighed, finding herself in a scenario she was growing far too accustomed to. It seemed like ever since Nora turned 18 that not a day went by without her losing some piece of her outfit. It wasn’t always something huge, but it was always something. Sure Amber realized that today had been her fault, but based on how loose Nora’s top had been tied on she was willing to bet that the wave would have taken it off anyway.

‘Whatever.’ Amber thought to herself, glancing down at Nora, ‘Just means I can’t slack off for even a moment around the poor girl.’

“Alright Nora. Just stay here for a minute and I’ll go get you something to cover up with.” She said, beginning to wade back to the shore.

“Please don’t take too long.” Nora said, before then returning to her lowered squatting position.

Amber made her way towards their stuff, trying to decide what would be best to get for Nora. Unfortunately Nora’s shirt was white, so it wasn’t gonna be much use once it got soaked. She figured the best bet was to just grab a towel. Then once Nora was dry Amber would just hold it up while Nora put her shirt on. As she got closer to their spot, Molly looked up from her book.

“Aww, are you guys getting out already. I was just about to join you.” Molly said, frowning that she might have missed her chance to swim with her friends. Amber was about to clarify that Nora had a little accident, but stopped herself. She glanced around, taking note that they were still mostly alone, the nearest person being quite a distance away.

‘It would be... selfish to leave Molly out of the loop.’ Amber thought.

“Actually I was hoping to get a little tanning done, but Nora wanted me to grab... uh” Ambers eyes darted around for a moment before stopping on an inner tube they brought.

‘Bingo’

“This inner tube. She’s getting a little tired. Not the strongest swimmer ya know.” Amber said, picking the floaty up and handing it to Molly. “But since you’re about to go over there why don’t you bring it?”

“No problem.” She said, standing up and taking the device from Amber. “That wave earlier looked pretty serious, so I’m not surprised she’s getting tired.”

“I’ll head back out in a few minutes. Don’t have to much fun without me.” Amber said, as she began to lay down in the sand, belly down so she could watch how Nora reacted, and see how long it took Molly to notice.

Meanwhile, Nora looked on in horror as she watched Amber lay down on the ground, and Molly head her way instead.
