Garrett: Whatever you’re going through, I think you’re strong enough to overcome it.

Despite not actually understanding what he had saved her from, his affirmation is applicable enough to resonate with Keira.

He waves over his shoulder, and she gives a tiny wave back as he disappears from view. And almost immediately after, Irene reappears.

Keira, with relief: Irene! Where have you been? I was worried!

Irene gives Keira a knowing wink.

Irene: Sorry, I didn’t want to interrupt. You two seemed to be having a moment. ♥

Keira blushes, profusely this time, and smiles self-consciously as she reaches down to grab a rock by her feet.

Keira: I-It wasn’t like that! He rescued me, that’s all…

She tosses the small rock lightly in her hand. Up and down, letting a brief silence settle in before speaking again. Then, with a strong arching of her arm, skips the rock across the lake’s surface.

Keira: He was really nice though, wasn’t he?

Irene: I hope we see him again.
