"How could a lake like this exist inside this place?" Rosalind could not help but ask when they approached the large body of water with countless lanterns on its surface. Each lantern had different designs and color that created a dazzling array of lights against the dark backdrop of the lake and the night sky.
"The world is a wonderful place to live in," he responded. He, too, was staring at the intricate and delicate patterned cutouts that allow the light to dance across the surface of the water. "Shall we?"
He gestured towards a small boat by the side of the lake.
"We are—"
"Why not?" he asked before pulling her towards the boat.
"I do not know how to swim," Rosalind said.
"And yet you dared jump off a cliff." He was talking about the first time that they met and the time that he had saved her when Victoria kidnapped her.
"That was different." It was a life and death situation and it required some… unique solutions— desperate solutions.
