Hot Tub Cocktail Party

I didn't know where to look. Eventually, I decided to focus on the safe, unassuming tiles. The non-reflective tiles that refused to heave, quiver or sway. Carefully manufactured, the porcelain tiles of the hot-tub had each been individually selected and positioned artfully so as to create a pattern at once so delicate and so dynamic that the casual observer might not even notice that it was there at all. The tiles were of four different colours: a rich ocean-deep cerulean; a vital green that glowed as if alive; a wicked scarlet that drew in the eyes seductively and a noble pearl, pure and chaste, unblemished by the other colours that danced and splashed so provocatively about it. These non-reflective tiles were fixed; they refused to heave, quiver or sway. A quick look up around the hot-tub confirmed this. No, these definitely non-reflective tiles definitely refused to heave, quiver or sway.
