The pressure Laura was putting on him made it harder for Asher to focus. He could feel everything on his back. Her heartbeat was one of the outstanding things since it beat faster than any other humans due to her super power.
"It's a snake. Kill it. Throw it away. Make it get out of here!" Her screams were deafening since she was too close. Her head right by his ears.
Asher tried to push it from his mind and focused on the floating thing in front of him. His face became deadpan, he took a deep breath. "Really? Are you that afraid of snakes?" His flat tone made Laura catch in her cries.
"Huh?" She wasn't sure what he meant.
"As much as I enjoy the massage from your heart beating like a jackhammer, please let go for a minute." Asher felt the pressure on him release and he stepped in to the water farther.
