Chapter 32: Being Heard

*Claire*

My heart can’t take it. It’s beating out of control. My cheeks are flush. I know it. After scolding Nathaniel for holding me bridal style and then leaping off the edge of the ship, every part of me is tingling with adrenaline. There’s even a tremor to my fingers.

I turn away, keeping my back to Nathaniel, as I try to calm down. It’s not working. What is scary is that I liked it. Between the leap and the breathless moment knowing he would keep me safe, it was very exciting. Inevitably, I turn back around before I’m fully calmed down.

Already, I see a look in Nathaniel’s eye that tells me he can hear my racing heart and most likely see the pink in my cheeks. There is a moment, a solid moment, where we make eye contact and hold it. I don’t know how long it lasts, but what I do know is I look away first.

“Are you alright now?” asks Nathaniel, who is now wearing a concerned look on his face.

“Yes, I’m through having a heart attack you gave me,” I say.
