Chapter 116

"Keep looking at me and everything will be just fine." If it was any other person in any other situation saying such condescending words and treating me like this, but his words do not anger me as I find myself hardening my grip and not letting go of his hands. 

"That's right, just like that, I am not going to let you go." It did not cross my mind to doubt his words as I forced my gaze to stay on his as Ethan slowly starts pulling me closer, bending my body forward and into that pool of water.

I get in the water quietly and smoothly against my expectations of going in with a loud splash, all deliberately calm and steady and yet when my feet hit the bottom I cannot help but close my eyes and shudder, and it was not from the cold.
