"Why do you put on the television just to ignore it?" Liam asked, puzzled by Veronica's logic.
"I like the sound that comes from it in the background. It's always a little too quiet wherever we're staying," Veronica replied.
Veronica pulled the shirt she had been wearing over her head and was left in her underwear. "I'm going for a swim. I need to continue to overcome my fear."
"You're going to swim at this hour when the water is cold and outside is too dark to see what's around you?" Liam asked, seeing it as a bad idea.
"I'm not going for a swim in the sea. I don't have a death wish. I was going for a late-night swim in the pool outside. It has a heater so I won't freeze to death. Will you join me for a swim or will you be my lifeguard? It won't be much swimming since the water isn't high and I can't swim. Was it your idea to not fill it all the way?" Veronica inquired.
