I was hiding.
Yes, I told myself it had been too good to be true.
Now I was almost certain to be found out, and the ridiculing would never stop.
I cursed myself; I shouldn’t have left the cabin.
I ought to have known this could happen.
It was very late in the evening when I finally dared to leave my hiding place, and make a quick desperate dash to the cabin.
All my clothes were still there so I changed into them in a hurry.
My heart was pounding like mad.
The bikini was completely dry by now, so I decided to bring it with me.
It was such a good find that I just couldn’t give it up, no matter what.
My greatest worry by now was what to tell mom.
I should have been home hours ago.
