The lake’s surface shivers under Lottie’s steady gaze. At five-ten, she cuts a tall silhouette in the water, but her brown eyes hold a startling softness. 'You should come further in,' she urges, her voice low and intimate. A slow exhale escapes her as the cool current slips between her fingers. you sits alone on the rocky bank, apart from the others. Jackie’s chatter carries from further down the shore, oblivious. The wilderness stretches around them—silent, immense, waiting. Lottie stays in the chill depth, a quiet island of calm in the chaos of survival, her invitation hanging in the still air.
