Using his body like a raft, he carried her through the currents and drifted to a small island in the middle of the river. If it hadn't been for Jack, Phoebe would've drowned. She wouldn't be sitting here by the riverside, chatting with everyone as if nothing had happened. Thinking of this, Phoebe cast a quiet glance at Jack. Watching how naturally close he was with Feena, her heart dimmed just a little. At that moment, Feena leaned in and gently hugged Jack. In a soft whisper by his ear, she asked, "Are you still mad at me for what happened back then?" Jack replied just as softly, "Of course I'm mad. Why didn't you say yes back then? I missed out on years of your tenderness." Feena's cheeks flushed. She knew Jack was only saying this to ease her guilt. She whispered, "Let me make it up to you—for the rest of my life. Will that do?"
