"Ugh…" Tara Summer sinks into the water, dozens of meters away from the shore. The pool is so deep she can't touch the bottom. Her hands and feet are flailing, her heart filled with terror.
As soon as she opens her mouth, water rushes in, triggering a reflex in her trachea. She coughs violently, and more water enters her mouth and nose.
Liam Yancey, tall and imposing, stands on the shore. He initially thought she could swim, but after a minute he realizes that she is struggling continuously in the water. After a while, her body gradually sinks.
His brow furrows slightly and after a moment of silence, he leaps into the pool. Just as Tara Summer continues to sink, he grabs her wrist and with a gentle pull, he brings her to the surface.
"Ugh…" Tara closes her eyes, thrashing wildly. Sensing the man in front of her, she immediately wraps her arms around his neck, clinging to him tightly like a lifeline, refusing to let go.
