It was just gone 10am and Rory was in the swimming pool, Amy watching him from one of the sun loungers, after a while he got out and sat on the sun lounger next to hers.
"I don't know why you won't come in Amy, the waters lush".
"I'm good here, thanks"
"Come on, just come in for five minutes"
"I can't, Rory"
"Why not?"
She looked at him and looked down.
"You still can't swim, can you?"
"Please keep your voice down, Rory, I don't want the whole hotel knowing".
He moved closer to her, "what about all those swimming lessons I paid for?"
"I couldn't go through with them, I'm so sorry, but the water just really freaked me out, and I didn't want you to find out because you had already paid for them".
"Hang on, you got in the water when we took Jamie swimming that one time".
"Yeah and I was terrified, but I didn't want to let you or Jamie down".
He took hold of her hand, "you didn't have to do that Amy, why didn't you just tell me? I would have completely understood".
She looked at him again and sighed, "I'm really sorry Rory, for wasting the money you spent on the swimming lessons".
"It's okay, I promise" he kissed her forehead, "it's all forgotten, I would like to teach you myself when we get home though, just me and you, you don't need to be afraid of the water Amy"
She nodded, "As long as you're there I'll feel safe, so yes, I would like that, thank you Rory, "she sat up and kissed him, "I love you"
He smiled and kissed her again, "I love you too".
