  Summary

  Perhaps to be saved is not to have someone forcefully drag you from the depth of your mind that you’re drowning in, but to have someone convince you to open your eyes beneath the water—no matter how terrifying it is—and allow you to realize that you can only breathe on your own.

  Or: A love story between a drowning author and the one person who forced him to breathe.
