Chapter 6

He submerges again, in the pitch dark of the water and stays down as long as he can. When he resurfaces, Rosemary is wading in. She has stripped down to her bra and panties, and he can see she’s hesitant, indulging the whim of a husband who’s behaving more like a son, a boy. Gregory turns and swims out farther, but it’s not long before she’s behind him, latching onto his ankle. He wants to shrug off her surprisingly firm grip and swim farther out into the black water, but knows that’s not the right move. That would not be in the script. So he endures her touch, turning his body and freeing himself so he can face her. He fixes a grin to his face.
