After a long moment, Adrian Quincy asked her, "Claire, how do you feel now?"
"Uh, my legs can move now."
"Come with me." Adrian Quincy took her hand and led her into deeper water.
When the water rose past her navel and was about to reach her chest, Adrian Quincy stopped. In a low voice, he said, "First, take a deep breath. I'll teach you how to hold it underwater."
"Hold my breath underwater?" Claire Sinclair sounded a little nervous.
"Don't worry, I'll be holding your hand. Besides, the water is shallow here. Don't pressure yourself—just try to relax."
"Okay, I'll try."
Claire Sinclair took a deep breath, and Adrian Quincy, with perfect timing, took both her hands and guided her as they submerged themselves together.
Once submerged, Claire Sinclair's entire body was enveloped by the seawater. Being underwater for the first time made her nervous, and she kept her eyes squeezed shut, not daring to open them.
