Side by side, we slowly waded into the water. The waves were mostly calm now. As the water reached our stomachs, the waves simply lifted and lowered us gently, like a rocking cradle.
Even as a decent swimmer, | was still nervous about entering the deep water. Fortunately, Nicholas didn't take us beyond where my feet could touch the ground while my shoulders remained above water.

"I'l be careful," | assured him.
That didn't seem like enough. "If you sense anything wrong... alert someone. Anyone. Preferably me, but whoever is nearest to you. As soon as you sense it.
Okay?" He seemed to be letting his worries overwhelm him. But, given everything that had happened lately, | supposed | couldn't blame him. Truthfully, | was nervous too, though | couldn't let it stop me.
