A Place In The Sun

The pool became a ritual. Day after day they sat together in the shade getting to know each other. Having little choice in the matter, Aaron and Lucy formed a fragile friendship. Sometimes Brad and Sarah traded offspring. It was the most fun Sarah had had in years. But there was always that longing to touch, to be touched by Brad. And, as badly as she wanted this, she wanted just as badly to hold on to the innocent public life they'd made for themselves out in the open. So she accepted the trade--the melancholy handshake at 4 in exhange for this little patch of grass, some sunscreen and companionship.

One more happy day at the pool.

Watch Little Children it's good.
