21Chapter Twenty-One
Meikah nodded towards the oars Kellan used. “Did you want me to row since you’re both busy?”
Kellan swapped places with her and handed over the oars. “That’d be good.”
She dipped the oar into the water, surprised at how much resistance there was. “Is it meant to be so hard to row?”
“That’ll be what I’m doing to the waves,” Kellan said. “They might have been calm close to the shore, but they’re getting rougher the closer we come to the rocks.”
She studied him, surprised at the amount of strain in his voice. “What’s wrong?”
His grin was strained. “You try fighting the ocean.”
“Oh.” She forced the oar through the water. “Is there anything else I can do to help?”
“Keep the boat on coarse.” Kellan pointed to a narrow gap between two rocks. “Aim for that point.”
