She needed to escape the confines of four walls.  She needed to be vertical and to stretch her legs.  She's still really sick and she just lets her legs carry her without though.  She's wearing too much clothing for the warm island weather--long, knit pants that ripple in the breeze and a wool sweater that she has pulled closed over her middle.

Alex had been making his way out to talk with Jen when he saw her wade out into the water. He hurried out watching her nervously from the water's edge.

She has a vague sense that he's there, but she keeps walking into the water, getting deeper in. When she gets in up to her shoulders, she drops below the water's surface.

His heart jumped into his throat when she went under and he kicked his shoes off wading out after her.

Jen stays under for as long as she can hold her breath for. When she pops up again, she's somehow facing him.
