They could swim forever down deeper and deeper into the water but they would never touch the bottom. I can hear the sorrow in Violet’s voice when she finds Finch’s body. She is angry. But she should not be angry, he is gone, but he left her without a goodbye. I could see what Jennifer Niven was describing. I could see the depth of the blue hole. The endlessness of it.
