Curious gaze (2)
Christian got tired of hearing Michael call for help and reached out to grab Michael's arms and pull him back to where he was safe. "How can you climb every tree you come across but not swim? We've travelled through water before, and the water here isn't that deep," Christian said, trying to process how he almost killed Michael.
If Rafael was not around, he might have left Michael for dead.
"You caught me off guard, you bastard," Michael said, trying to catch his breath as fast as he could. He didn't expect to be suddenly pushed into the water and lose his footing.
Christian saw right through Michael. "You got embarrassed that you thought you were going to drown for a second and carried it out till the end so the maids wouldn't laugh at you, didn't you?"
