In her office, she emailed one of the teaching assistants to take over her classes, then printed an out-of-office notice and posted it on her door. She made the mistake of sitting at her desk with nothing left to do but let her mind wander. Fragmented pictures filled her vision. The straight line of black tiles below her. Long muscled legs, kicking strongly. Bubbles blurring the water.

Flashes of red.

Red toenails.

Addy had red toenails. Why would Addy do something like that? She wouldn’t. Lori couldn’t believe it. But it was her. It had to be. Undeniably. Addy’s toenails were red. Lori could still see them, poking out from under the blankets the morning she woke up in Addy’s bed.

It hit her, tumbled her like a wave she hadn’t seen coming; Addy had tried to drown her. She hadn’t, though. Yes, she’d held her head under, but she’d let go a moment before it was too late.

As a swimmer, Addy would know just how long someone with decent lung capacity could be underwater before their breath ran out. Before they’d gulp for air and breathe water instead.
