The newcomer breaks the surface with Keira in his arms, both gasping desperately for air.
???: Hey!
He tries to get Keira’s attention as she chokes and hacks painfully on the water in her lungs. His face is a mere inches from hers.
???: Are you okay-
He stops mid sentence in surprise as Keira sobs into his shoulder. Slowly, gently, he wraps his arms comfortingly around her.
???: Don’t worry, you’re safe now.
In the distance, two shapes break the water’s surface, watching as victim and rescuer slowly make their way to shore.

Cue the meet-cute? 😏 How persistent will these watery lurkers be now that there's two of them?
