The moment he stepped into the water, his surprised reaction elicited laughter from her. She reassured him that the temperature wasn't as extreme as he seemed to think, joking that if they had a lobster, it would be perfect for a boil. He had adjusted the heat for her comfort, but now he found himself enduring the warmth without any seafood in sight, humorously lamenting the effect on him.

She recalled overhearing him talking to Mira and recognized the strain he was under. The situation highlighted their connection and mutual need for relief amidst their chaotic lives.
