His eyes moved from making sure she was alright to desperately searching for a way out. The water level was just high enough that the wall that had once met the roof over their head was just out of their reach. But perhaps if he could hoist her up, she would be able to get to safety.

”If I lift you up, would you be able to reach the top of that wall?” He asked, nodding his head towards the corner of the wall where the two sides met.
