Tara laughed at John’s response. Her eyes crinkling with mirth, she continued watching him as he approached slowly. “I will have you know that I am an expert at fort making, thankyouverymuch,” she replied, trying to sound offended, but probably failing horribly. She was no good at acting. Adventures? Yes. Acting? Definitely not.
Once Tara decided John was close enough, she began to rise from behind the towel. Wearing only her bathing suit, she was well prepared for a water battle. She hoped that John was, too. “Did you know that I am also an expert aaaat,” she paused for emphasis just before she rose up enough that he could see the balloon in her hand. “WATER FIGHTS!” And with that (quite dramatic) bellow, she wound back and threw the water balloon at John.
