![]() ![]() ![]() Megan had guessed that she would take me there again, and Ethan thought he knew where they might find it. They told him about my near fatal trip to the buoy last time. I felt terrible, for now he knew that I had lied to him. Of course he would, I thought, for he had seen her too. They told Ethan about Lorelei, and were surprised when he believed them. His father was away on a fishing trip for the weekend, but Ethan had his inflatable skiff. They knew that Ethan lived at the harbor, and went to him at dawn for help. Megan and Cruz ended up spending the night on the beach, waiting in vain for my return. I felt bad about involving them, but I was grateful that Abby didn’t know, for she would certainly tell my father and I would definitely be sent away for this one. Cruz had lied to Abby, telling her I was spending the night at Megan’s. He finally went to Megan’s, where they tried to figure out what to do. He described to me how he’d been frantic, pacing on the sand for hours. ![]() “I’m so sorry Cruz, I should have listened to you.” My voice sounded hoarse and raspy. I sat in mute exhaustion, resting my dizzy head on Cruz’s shoulder as he spoke. I’d been peeled off the buoy and made to sip water slowly, as Cruz filled me in on his own awful night.Įthan was preoccupied with piloting us back to land, and I was afraid to make eye contact, ashamed of my stupid move. ![]() We motored into the harbor, Ethan steering the small inflatable into its berth. ![]()
