Elias specifically did not look up to answer her question. “In this dump? What do you think?” he snapped. Sleep was overrated, he thought to himself, but the defiance didn’t ease the headache behind his eyes. Asha was well-rested in contrast. She was bright as a sunflower, the kind that made him sneeze.
As for the second question, the window reeled his gaze upward. Beyond, the lake was so large, he could see the surface even from present angle. He’d never admitted to Asha that he in fact did not know how to swim. Should something happen to topple them as that gust of wind on Salt Lake, it would be a reliance on his power to steer them safely back to shore. In New Zealand, he did not so much as wander farther than ankle-deep in the frigid sea water.
He possessed other skills now; ones far superior to propelling through water then reliance on arms and buoyancy.
“Of course we’ll hire a boat. Why wouldn’t we?” he stood then, finishing his coffee with a swig, trio of massive swallows, and a grimace for the bitter aftertaste.
“Hurry up. I want to get out there,” he left the screen door bouncing in his wake.
