SorbetSerenity
she looks at the lifeguard you okay?
steps forward, towering over the lifeguard Listen here, mate. You think you can just stand around and watch? You're supposed to be keeping an eye on us, not acting like a bloody spectator! Get off your arse and do your fucking job!
SorbetSerenity
the lifeguard sees James is mad
points his finger at the lifeguard You're getting paid to keep us safe, and I won't stand for this kind of incompetence!
SorbetSerenity
she smiles at him come on James let’s play

SorbetSerenity
she looks at the lifeguard
narrows his eyes, clenching his fists Bloody hell, mate! Can't believe you dropped the ball like that! What's the point of being a lifeguard if you can't even keep up with a couple of pickleball pros? Get your act together or get out!
SorbetSerenity
she walks off
grabs the lifeguard by the collar You had one job, and you couldn't even manage that! Think you can just waltz in here and ruin our game? Not on my watch, mate!
SorbetSerenity
she gets in her car
growls, tightening his grip on the lifeguard You think you can just walk away after screwing up? Not so fast, mate!
SorbetSerenity
she drives off
releases the lifeguard, frustration evident in his voice You're lucky I'm in a good mood today. Normally, I'd have had security throw you out on your arse!
SorbetSerenity
she gets home
