Lexie was still in the tent changing after pinning the broken flap closed.

“This isn’t good,” I muttered.

“You think?” Asher kept rubbing his neck.

“How could they fucking do that?” Ethan began to spin his rings. Zeke was still silently looking out at the lake.

“I don’t know.” Miles’ voice was cold.

I didn’t care how they could do it. Right now, I was worried about Lexie. She was probably pissed as hell. Her being quiet like this… it wasn’t good.

Lexie opened her tent flap and climbed out of the tent. She didn’t lift her gaze from the dirt as she headed for the lake. Slipping off her sandals, she folded her towel and left it next to them. She went into the lake and began to swim out. Her body made long strong strokes through the water.

Something about the way she moved… I recognized it. “Miles, swim with her.”

Miles turned to me and frowned. “She might need to be alone right now.”

Lexie swam out past the no wake zone.

“Miles.” I turned to him and met his eyes. “Trust me. Swim with her.”

“You think she’ll do something self-destructive?” He toed off his shoes and socks.

I shook my head. “Not on purpose. If she’s as angry as I think, she’s not feeling anything right now.”

Nodding, Miles took off his glasses and his shirt. “She’ll swim until she can’t anymore and she won’t realize it.”

“Then she’ll…” Ethan turned to look at her swimming out further.

“I’ll follow further back with the ski.” I headed for the skis.

“You’ll need two.” Asher headed for the skis too.

“Stay far enough back to give her the feeling of being alone.” Miles handed Zeke his glasses then ran for the water.

“Then catch up to her fast.” I moved the ski into deeper water. Miles took off like a shot. It was impressive how fast he could swim. I turned and slowly made my way out, giving Miles enough time to get closer. I followed Miles deeper into the lake. When he was within ten feet of that copper hair, both Asher and I backed off. We idled after them, simply watching as she kept swimming. How far could she go?
