The river was cold and spiteful. Sophia felt the current grab her like an argument. She pushed and kicked and reached the boy, whose face looked pale and very small. She lashed an arm around him and kept breathing, kept thinking of the bell on her trike, kept feeling for the lamppost line. They were pulled back to shore by the crowd’s combined strength—hands, ropes, shouts—and when they collapsed onto the muddy bank Sophia laughed, more from adrenaline than amusement. The boy coughed up river water and then began to laugh. Someone wrapped them both in old towels. The crowd cheered like a percussive curtain falling.
