Summary
The day she climbed out of the water, only Willy had seen and therefore only he believed the truth of her arrival. "Like the stories they tuck children to bed with," he had said, "just up and rose from the foam."
And it was true, or rather it had to be true. By the time Harvey really thought to examine the details of the whole ordeal, three months had swum lazily past and the peak of summer was soon arriving. No, she did not wash up on shore, as they all had suspected Willy actually meant when he told them of her pale skin–so clear that he swore he could trace all her veins and the outline of her heart. She had walked to it.
