Uma dipped a toe into the water and frowned, sighed, and glared at Bobby one more time. This was somehow his fault, she'd decided. And then she dove into the pool, graceful and clean, cutting a path right through the water to the very bottom of the pool.
And stayed there. Stayed there for a really long time, not moving. Stayed there until bubbles forced their way out of her throat and up through the water. Stayed there after the last one had risen and left the surface smooth again.
Long seconds ticked by. And then--light. Bright and golden, rising up from the bottom of the pool, bringing Uma up with it.
