She does not remember drifting off, but she wakes with a start. She lifts her head, heart pounding, uncertain what has woken her. She blinks wearily into the darkness, swallowing thickly as she tries to determine exactly what had startled her from her slumber.

The sound of the stranger’s voice arrests her heart in her chest and she scrambles to her feet with a strangled yelp. She moves to put as much space between herself and the stallion as she can, which leaves her standing ankle-deep in the surf, trembling as she turns to face him. 

“I’m sorry,” she blurts and she can hardly hear the sound of her voice over the hammering of her heart and the rush of blood through her ears as fear seizes her. She grits her teeth in an attempt to stop their chattering, trying in vain to steel herself against the tremors coursing through her. “I just…” she swallows again, her heart lodged into the narrow space at the base of her throat. “I got lost by mistake, I was just… I was just resting before trying to go home.”

She sucks in a sharp breath and shakes her head. “I don’t think I was going to die.”
