Rohan picked his head up off of his arms where he had been resting, grinning from ear to ear when he saw her. His heart skipped a beat at her footsteps down the hall. Seeing her made his chest explode with a warmth and joy as their eyes met. "I'm glad to be here, too," he said and bit his lip. There was a fidget in his shoulders, antsy and excited for her present. But he had to wait for it. Don't ruin it, he told himself. Hang in there a little longer.
Right hand reaching out to beckon her closer, his left arm held him up at the edge of the pool, just chest height. The water level around him was just high enough one could jump in with a spring in their knees to not hurt themselves, but no diving was allowed!
