“You drifted off.” I turn to see Lucas, his face framed by the water, rough on every side.
“Where’s Ro?” I turn to look for him, but all I can see is Lucas. His eyes, and broad swaths of sand and sea.
“He’s fine. It’s you I’m worried about.” He pushes up his sleeve and holds out his naked wrist. “I want you to feel better, Dol.” Four dots. Four blue dots.
The blood is gone now. So is his shirt.
Lucas puts his hands inside the bottom of my sweater, tugging at it. He looks at me, questioningly, be...fore gently pulling it over my head. I shiver.
Lucas doesn’t seem to notice. He takes my cold, bare arm in his hands. Unties my binding and pulls it loose, letting it hang halfway off my arm, undone. Where his hand runs over my skin, I have goose bumps.
“Say something.” Now Lucas slips his fingers through mine. “I’ve been waiting for you, all this time. I know you feel it too.”
He begins to wrap the cloth around our arms. As he works the cloth, our elbows touch, then our forearms.MoreLess
