As she gradually reached the surface, Glenn Hutchinson didn’t linger any longer. His speed was impressive, surfacing in half the time it took Flossie Wright.
The quiet ocean was abruptly disturbed by the two figures bursting to the surface. Water splashed everywhere, soft rays of light poured down, adding an endless sparkle to the droplets, creating a blur of enchantment.
Taking in some fresh air, Flossie Wright glanced around only to be surprised by a familiar figure in close vicinity. The striking features were all too familiar, catching her off guard.
She narrowed her eyes, questioning reflexively, "What are you doing here?"

Not that she was surprised to see Glenn Hutchinson, but that he had caught up to her speed so quickly.
At the time Flossie jumped off the cliff, Glenn should’ve still been atop it. To miraculously descend unharmed and then find her amidst the vast ocean was no minor feat.
However, in a moment of surprise, Glenn Hutchinson had already reached her side.
His unusually gloomy face filled Flossie’s sight. As if he’d come across something displeasing, prompting suspicion within her. Just when she started to tell him to back off, his hand had already elevated, unexpectedly landing a solid hit on her head.
Without any shield, the physically spent Flossie took the hit directly, pain causing her to momentarily black out.
Flossie’s mouth twitched, her eyes flashing with anger.
After venting her frustration, she rubbed her own forehead with her hand, her eyes bright with a hint of vigilance, then backed away from him.
Given her current situation, a stand-off with Glenn Hutchinson was out of the question. If this man was in a mysterious fit of anger, why wouldn’t she try to avoid him?
But, she hadn’t swam half a meter away before Glenn’s hand flew out, forcefully pulling her back. Instinctively wanting to break free, but the grip on her shoulder was irresistible. Flossie was not one to be pushed around, so there was no way that she would let him dominate her.
Raising her hand to grasp Glenn’s arm, Flossie flexed her submerged legs, preparing to sweep them towards his body, but Glenn seemed to have a premonition. Before her leg could reach him, his hand clamped onto her ankle. Losing her balance, she was just a slight pull away from him. Unable to control her momentum, she collided directly with his shoulder.
Glenn glanced amusingly at the prickly woman. Drenched, droplets falling from her hair into her eyes, reflecting blinding rays of light, intense anger erupted from her eyes, not the habitual menace or ferocity, but pure annoyance and rage.
It was rare seeing Flossie lose her composure. A smirk appeared on Glenn’s lips, washing away the gloomy mood.
He never thought she would give up without a fight. While the grip on her was gradually loosening, his attention was drawn to her reaction. The moment he let go, Flossie immediately wrenched herself free, her elbow smashing hard into his shoulder. Movement in the water was hardly nimble. Glenn initially planned to dodge it, but seeing her infuriated state, a hint of helplessness flashed in his eyes before he took the hit squarely.
