Too late
It all happened too fast.
One moment, she was riding behind the horse.
The next moment, she was surrounded by nothing but air.
She gazed at Tamaki in sadness. Did he not really understand?
Her eyes pleaded for him to know, but all she could see now was her restraining hand on him.
He never came, she mused. Was it all lost now?
Splash.
She sank. In her sorrow, in her pain, in her overwhelming grief.
And that was when she hit the bottom.
It all happened too fast.
He could only watch in horror as she flew away.
Her eyes seemed bright with tears.
His instinct was to run, to rescue her.
Only to be stopped.
Perhaps it was the numbness of the shock. He did not move.
She went out of sight. He tensed for the impact.
Splash.
Could nothing be salvaged now?
The car speed on.
