Halia wanted to reject Emerson. After all, she had never thought of him as anything more than a friend.
But, just as she was about to get the words out of her mouth, Emerson suddenly leaned forward.
In a panic, Halia immediately stepped back, forgetting that she was on the edge of a pool.
Everyone gasped as a loud splash echoed through the night air.
"Haili," Emerson yelled in surprise as he quickly bent down to remove his shoes.
But, as soon as he kneeled down, he heard another loud splash.
"Jackson," Amelie screamed.
Jackson had dived in to save Halia without hesitation. He had been watching from a distance and saw the entire scene unfold.
