Trish Wellington wasn't a very big drinker but, well, you only got married once.
Besides, Trish needed to drink that night if only to forget that Katherine was standing where her mother should've been. The alcohol worked, too—it made her numb but it also made her reckless. She barely remembered deciding to take a swim in the pool.
Feeling giddy, feeling scared, feeling alone, Trish let the water swallow her up. It was refreshing. She went under, reveling in the sensation of a wet embrace.
She never expected that, when she wanted to resurface again, it would be impossible.
