There you'd stood, on the edge of the river looking down into the water in just your swimwear, a towel wrapped around you. You'd turned to him and spoken up after a moment. “If I fell in would you save me?” you'd asked him, almost as if you'd expected a negative answer.

He'd looked up from where he was tying his shoe, laughing softly as he replied. “Of Course” He'd glanced away to finish tying his shoe when he'd heard the splash, his head darting up. You were nowhere to be seen, towel discarded.

He let out a panicked yell of your name, immediately getting up and jumping into the water to try to find you.
