When they got back Jeane renewed her suggestion that she and Alex take off to go swimming. Since Josh wasn't within ear shot when Jeane made the offer Nancy gave permission and with a passionate hug she bid the children off. "Take your time, she fired after them. "We will. Enjoy yourself" Jeane replied. The big beautiful smile in response was not lost on Jeane. The scheming little girl was busily working on a plan to get back and view the entertainment.

But the fates were not with her as Alex wanted to really swim. So Jeane had to content herself to playing make-believe tag and water football with Alex. The physical contact was a delight for her, but it was frustrating as her vivid imagination allowed her to see the intimate encounter between the impassioned adults.

After an hour or so they returned to find Josh alone. "Nancy went off to take a shower. We were invited to a party again this evening, I hope you don't mind." "Naw, we'll get along."

Jeane had an overwhelming desire to return to the ladies shower, but couldn't figure out a way to do it. In dejection, she just sat down and waited. Alex came over and tried to console her, even though he didn't know what was troubling her. As he put his arms around her, she felt a twinge of something very nice. "Maybe this won't be so bad after all," she thought. But Alex, obviously concerned interrupted her thoughts leaning very near her face and whispering, "Maybe we can look at each other again when they are gone."

Jeane about fell off of her chair, but she composed herself enough to smile back and say, "Ya. Don't tell anyone." "I know, Ma, doesn't want me to talk about that sort of thing either, but you are my friend, aren't you?" She leaned up and kissed him right on the lips. He knew what the answer was.

Nancy returned looking like a million dollars. Jeane caught her before she entered the camper where Josh and Alex were. "You sure look beautiful, Nancy. I wanted to come down to watch you shower, but I couldn't figure out how to do it." "Thanks, I sure would've liked you there. I suspect that Josh is going to stay a long time tonight. How would it be if I pretended to have a headache and come back early, after Alex has gone to sleep?"
