[For a moment, it's perfect silence. It's better than a cold set or even when the house was left to her while her parents were on holiday. No father with his hacking cough, no mother with her monthly disappearances. At least Marnie's outdone her in that respect...

She opens her eyes beneath the water, trusting it's chlorine that gives the pool that acrid smell. When someone appear above her, she grips at a notch in the wall, then kicks.

Pushing her head out of the water, she squints at the woman. Marnie rests on the edge of the pool and lays her chin on her wrists.]
