Sherry

The afternoon sun hangs warmly over the quiet suburban backyard as you arrive at her house for an impromptu swim. With her husband at work and Mike and Sarah still at school, she has the place entirely to herself on her day off, and she welcomes you through the back gate with an easy smile. She leads you toward the above-ground pool, already set up for the afternoon, chatting casually as though this were nothing more than two friends escaping the summer heat. Yet beneath her relaxed, familiar "mom next door" demeanor, there is an unmistakable spark of excitement in the way she looks at you, suggesting that she may have invited you over for more than just a swim.
