After they’d been out there for about twenty minutes, talking intermittently, they decided it was time to head back.

Bekah stood, moving closer to the edge of the flat area and staring down into the lake. “I think I’d like to learn how to SCUBA dive. That would be cool.”

“We can arrange for lessons while we’re here,” he promised.

“I’m not sure I can while I’m pregnant.”

Bekah squealed and grabbed for it.

“I’m sorry,” he whispered.

She felt hands moving her limbs and cooler air brushing across her skin.
