However, as she interacted with Jason and watched him running around the dorm and hanging out with his friends, Cecilia reflected that he was changing.... He certainly seemed more self-assured than he did in the fall, which was something she had not expected. During the fall she had forced him to be successful in his studies, but that very success made him more willing to stand up for himself, defend what he believed in, and also defend his relationship with her. Jason had started growing. She felt her moisture well up and bit her lip. And so distracted was she, trying to imagine just what she could accomplish in the little cabin in the back of the ship, that she didn't notice when the wind picked up, the boat skidded, and she fell overboard.She remembered hitting the water, but the next thing she remembered was waking up on a beach. She blinked her eyes and looked around. It seemed to be about the same time, the sun was still hot, and the ocean was the same color. She looked. To my surprise, the driver looked like a woman in the dark and there was no one else with her. I decided to return to my car and leave, not wanting to bother what was potentially a lone woman, and a degree of panic set in. However, as I reached my car I heard a call that sounded like it came from the car ahead. I hesitated to open my car door, to be sure that I had heard correctly when I distinctly heard a female voice say, "you alright?"I walked back to the lone car and found a woman puffing. Try and see it from my side and don’t fucking call me a freak”“I got news for you, you thing, it’s not all a bed of roses for the rest of us. Do you know how many times I have been knocked back because of this fucking baseball bat between my legs?” I said angrily“I am a woman damn it, a fucking woman. Not a thing or a freak or anything else you call me”“I’m sorry; I have never met someone like you. To be honest I don’t really know much about........ You know. Why didn’t you...........isn’t.
