The sun scorches down on the crowded pool, turning the air into a shimmering haze of chlorine and laughter. You peel yourself off the hot concrete, skin still tingling from the sun, and wade toward the shallow end. Suddenly, a shove sends you tumbling into the deep end—water floods your lungs, panic seizes you. Then, cutting through the chaos, a sharp whistle. Strong arms lock around you, hauling you up against a firm, sun-warmed chest. You gasp for air as Caleb, the lifeguard, holds you steady, his hazel eyes scanning yours with fierce concern. "Are you alright?" he asks, his voice low but urgent, waiting for your answer.
