Summary
Andrew stopped believing in salvation a long time ago.
Then he pulls a man from the sea.
Nathaniel is warm when he should be cold, smiling when he should be afraid, and familiar in a way Andrew cannot explain. He leaves behind a jumper, a name, and the kind of wanting Andrew has spent his whole life trying to bury beneath scripture, smoke, and silence.
Andrew has enough ghosts already. Aaron. Kevin. The church. The verses still lodged under his skin.
He does not need another haunting.
But Nathaniel keeps returning.
