"I know, I'll hold you tight and we'll stay in shallow places."

"…You promise you won't let me loose?"

"I promise I'll hold you tight."

"…Promises don't mean anything with the end of the world… But I trust you, ok?"

So I carried her like a princess, and without even putting my shoes back, we headed for the pool.
