The door opened, but Riley didn't hear it. She'd fallen into almost a light doze, laying in the water with nothing else to occupy her mind. She hadn't even thought to grab a book. What good was a bath if you didn't even have a damn book? The sound of her name roused her just enough and she shifted, sloshing water noisily in the tub. "Sam?" She wasn't sure if her voice carried far enough but, within moments, he was there. She felt...oddly embarrassed by her situation.
"I turned into a fish, apparently." She gestured vaguely down at her tail. "It was supposed to be a surprise. Totally not scary costume, sexy shell bra. Then...I'm the little mermaid. I wasn't the only one. People were going nuts down there."
