HE DIDN’T EVEN stop to think. Removing his shirt and glasses quickly, Callum dived into the water.

“Callum! Wait!” Alisha’s voice faded as he plunged under the water and swam as fast as he could toward the last place he’d seen Ellie floating before she’d disappeared.

The image of the Sea-Doo flying over the waves, Brent losing control and Ellie flying off the back and crashing into the lake had terrified him. The impact of the hit alone could have knocked her out or winded her enough that she would be unable to catch a breath even when she did resurface.

He swam hard against the waves, coming up for air, then going below again to peer through the murky water. He heard the motor of the Sea-Doo before he saw it bobbing on its side on the lake a few feet away. It had stalled, as Brent had fallen off, releasing the key from the ignition.

He looked around the surface, but he didn’t see either of them.

A life jacket floating on the water had his heart falling deep into his gut. Cheryl had mentioned that Ellie’s life jacket had been too big.

Damn it! Why the hell had she gotten on that thing with Brent? The guy wasn’t exactly responsible at the best of times, let alone when he’d consumed half a dozen beers in two hours.

Taking a deep breath, Callum dived beneath the surface again and scanned frantically. Where was she?

The sound of the boat’s motor drew closer, and he resurfaced and saw the others scanning the waters, as well, from different positions on the deck. His gaze met Mitch’s but the other guy shook his head. He inhaled as much air as possible and dived again.

This time he saw her. Ten feet away, she was slowly sinking deeper, lower into the water. Her arms outstretched, her hair billowing out all around her, her legs limp, he knew she was knocked out.

He reached her in record time and, wrapping one arm around her waist, he started the trek to the surface, moving upward, painfully slowly through the water. His legs were jelly and his lungs were desperate for air as he lifted Ellie’s body to the surface and raised his own head seconds later.

He inhaled and a quick glance in both directions revealed he was closer to the shore than the boat, so ignoring the calls from the others on the boat he swam toward the safety of land.
