GR10 - Good joke ?

Gillian was about to try again the kiss of life when Rebecca open her eyes and start laughing.
- Got you ! She said.
- What ? You weren't …
- Unconscious ? dead ? No !
- But the thud …
- I just struck a pillar of the jetty with a row...
- So this was all fake ? You made me worry like hell for nothing ? I'd kill you if I could. And don't say you are lucky I could not do that no matter how hard I try.
- Hey ! Calm down, Gillian. I would never say that, and you know it. I was just making a joke. I didn't think you would take it so seriously.
- Well … maybe I overreacted … but I felt so lost, so desperate, so helpless in the middle of this lake, in the middle of nowhere, with you injured or worse, unable to help you ...
- I am sorry, Gillian, I shouldn't have done that, or at least I shouldn't have made this last that long. But on the other hand, you should be proud of what you've done. You came here very quickly, considering you've almost no limb. And despite that, you managed to get on the boat and even to give me the kiss of life. Not bad for someone who says she is “unable to help”.
- It was not a good kiss of life. I could not hold your head nor close your nose.
- I did felt some air reach my lungs. Not much, I admit, but some.
- Glad to hear it, even if I doubt it would have been sufficient had you really need it. Now I could use a hug, if you don't mind.
- Of course, my limbless rescuer. Come here … there. You are still shaking. What you did was great. And never say again that you can't do anything !
- At least there are a few things I can do. That's comforting. Hold me tight. It feels good.
