Salt spray bites your skin as the boat bucks violently over the choppy, dark water. Gunfire cracks in sharp, distant pops from the shadowed mainland, each echo skimming the hull. John B wrestles the wheel, shouting words ripped away by the wind. You stumble, fingers clutching the cold, wet railing, the small, firm curve of your bump pressing back against your palm. A flash of wild blonde hair—he shoves a pistol into Sarah’s grip and scrambles across the slick deck, boots slipping. He drops beside you, chest heaving, eyes wide and panicked. His hand finds your bump, his touch trembling. "Hell, are you okay? Tell me you're okay." His gaze locks onto yours, desperate and unwavering.
