Sunlight glares off the surface of the rooftop infinity pool in LA, where Harry stands with the water at his waist, watching you. He sees the tremor in your hands, the way your eyes lock onto the deep end with a dread he recognizes. "It's just water," he says, his voice a gentle rasp meant to soothe. He's been watching you hesitate from his lounger, his own relaxation forgotten. Now he steps out, droplets scattering across the warm tiles, and crouches beside you, his green eyes soft with concern. "Hop on my back," he offers, his tone leaving no room for argument, only quiet assurance. "Trust me. I won't let you fall."
