Chapter 18: Thin Ice
Calla went under without a sound.
The black water closed over her cream coat, and the ring box went with her.
I didn't think.
I dropped to my stomach on the boards and shoved my arm into the lake to the shoulder.
The cold was so sharp that it didn't feel like cold.
It felt like being hit.
My fingers found wool and closed on it, and I pulled, and nothing came.
The coat was heavy as a drowned horse.
"Henrik!" I screamed.
The boards boomed under his boots.
He hit the dock at a dead run, took one look, and went flat beside me.
"Let go, I've got her."
"I'm not letting go."
"Astrid, let go, you'll go in."
He hooked his left arm around my waist and his right hand into the water, and I felt his whole body brace.
