A splashy swimming session had everyone’s cheeks aflame, except for Everard, who remained as nonchalant as ever, as if nothing out of the ordinary had occurred beneath the waves.

It was only when Cordelia felt her lungs screaming for air that Everard released her, and the pair broke the surface, finally able to stand and speak.

Cordelia scowled. “You can’t swim?”

Everard nodded. “No, will you teach me?”

Cordelia shook her head. “Nope.”
