The Boundary Line
By MISTRESS
"Don't ever," he whispered, his voice shaking, "scare me like that again."
For me, the Lake was supposed to be a day of hiding behind a book and trying to ignore the biting cold. But when the boy from the older grades-the one with the intense gaze needs her help, the "safe" shore feels miles away.
One untied rope. One rogue wave. One girl who can't swim, drifting past the yellow 'DANGER' markers into the dark, murky deep.
She expected to sink. She didn't expect him to dive.
In a world of cold water and broken boundaries, the rescue is only the beginning. Because when he pulls her from the lake and refuses to let go, she realizes the most dangerous thing at the lake isn't the water-it's the way her heart beats when he's around.
