[She hums under her breath, tilting her head to rest it on his shoulder as they gaze out over the river, food momentarily forgotten on both counts in favor of focusing on being close to each other.]
I liked the waterfalls. The ones between New York and Ontario? There are two people in total who have tried the stunt of going over them in nothing more than a wooden barrel. We went to preserve them; one was a woman sixty-three years old, who survived her trip over, and the other was a man whose barrel was ripped apart, and all they ever found of him was his arm.
[Which is sort of a gloomy part of the story, but.]
But I remember standing by the railing for hours, it seemed like, watching the water go over the falls. So many people come to see them that a group of Speakers did not attract much notice, or at least no more than anyone else. They're so loud, and the fall is so steep, and I couldn't imagine what courage it must take for someone, to get into such a tiny space and let themselves be swept over the edge.
