Only a few stragglers remained on the boat. Pierce, already floating in the water, had his arms outstretched, inviting Raven in. Yet even his nicely built arms didn’t quite equal the safety of staying on board. “Pierce, I think you’re going to have to do this by yourself.”

“Raven?”

She shook her head. “I can’t handle this much water.”

“Just hold onto me.”

“I…I…I can’t!” She moved aside, letting others pass. “I can’t.”

“Here, take one of these,” a little freckle-faced, cinnamon-haired boy said, handing Raven a bright pink foam stick. “The noodles will keep you floating.”

She looked skeptically at the stick that did not reassure her by any stretch of the imagination. “Thanks, but,” she tapped the boat’s hull, “I think I’ll stick close to home.”

Pierce moved back toward the steps a little, wading in the water with an ease that she envied. “Raven, come to me.”

“I can’t do that,” she shrieked, her panic rising.

“Just look at me, move forward, and wrap your arms around me,” he said softly. “Come on. Now.”

She panicked. “Who are you supposed to be? Jesus with that walk-on-water stuff?”

“Actually the true translation is along, not on, but we won’t get into that.”

“You’re supposed to be giving me confidence here.”

“What I’m giving you is honesty,” he corrected. “I’ve got this under control, honey.”

She was inching forward, stretching her arms out to him and struggling to connect with his hands before the fear stabbed at her like no time she could remember. “Pierce!”

“Trust me, I’m not budging, baby,” he encouraged, moving her forward. “You’re doing fine.”
