   Summary

   He kisses Collie’s knuckles. Then the inside of his wrists. He kisses up his arms, pulling him closer with every kiss until their faces are mere inches from each other. Collie’s feet dig into the ground behind him to keep himself steady.
   “Hi,” he says.
   His voice is smooth. He has a thick, Southern accent that suits him perfectly. Collie swallows. He wants the figure to kiss him. A strange pit of anxiety pools in Collie’s stomach. Does the figure in the water want to kiss him? Collie hopes he does.

   OR

   Collie falls in love with the man in his dreams.
