    Summary

    “Diving into deep waters, and diving into love can both leave you with the bends.” It was a phrase Abby had told Buck once, way back when they’d first met, way before they had gotten together. It had been a response to him asking her why it had been so long since she’d been in a relationship. She had told him, over the phone, that she wasn’t a risk taker, she thought out what she was going to do, planned every choice she made, so that if something happened, it wouldn’t leave her feeling worse than she did before. Diving could be beautiful, the water, the ocean was a wide, vast territory of the most magnificent creatures and corals, but it could leave you sick. It could kill you, and sometimes the dive into those deep waters wasn't worth the bends. He thought about that phrase before every relationship he jumped into, and when the water came up to swallow him whole, he thought that for the first time, he understood the bends.
