Denise could hardly contain her excitement as she unlocked the door to her new apartment for the first time. After four years of hard work, she had finally graduated from college and landed her dream job as a marketing associate at a tech startup.

The moving truck had arrived earlier that day with all of her belongings from her college apartment and childhood home. Denise started unpacking right away, eager to settle into her new place. As she arranged her furniture and hung up decorations, she kept glancing out the window at the apartment complex’s sparkling pool. She had specifically chosen this complex because of its amenities like the pool, gym, and community green space.

Denise had shopped for the perfect swimsuit to celebrate one of her first dips in the pool as a college graduate and official resident of the apartment complex. She had found a sleek black bikini that made her feel beautiful and sophisticated, no longer just the broke college student she had been just days earlier.

After spending all day unpacking and decorating, tomorrow would finally be the day – Denise’s first trip to enjoy the pool deck as a resident. She could picture herself lounging poolside with a good book, taking a refreshing swim, and feeling like she had truly made it on her own as an adult with her first job and apartment. Denise hung up her new black bikini in preparation, dreaming of the perfect first summer in her new home.
