“I always think of the worst-case scenario. Right now I'm calculating how long it would take me to run out of the car and get to Nina if she suddenly ran to the pool and jumped. I call it "rescue distance", that's what I call that variable distance that separates me from my daughter, and I spend half the day calculating it, although I always risk more than I should.”
