His heart stopped for a moment, his feet sprinting on their own accord in vain to catch Vereena on time. He didn't think for a moment about getting burned by her or the fact that she deliberately got herself into this situation. She was scared, hysterical even.

Yet none of those worried him the most than watching Vereena plunge faster into the water, swallowed into the foamy, splashing abyss and disappearing from his sight. Without thinking, Callum climbed into the railings and was about to follow Vereena, but a hand coiled around his arm, tugging him forcedly.
"Captain, step back!"
