Underwater
“It made my whole body ache knowing that Saxon was down there, suffering, because of me. I’d exhausted myself trying to think of a way around the Mer law, and time after time, I’d come up empty-handed. It felt as if the only option I had left was to surrender myself.
I’d thought about drowning before.
Right after my accident, when I wasn’t sure if I’d ever be able to put on my own pants again, much less swim, I thought about flopping out of my chair into the darkened waters of Pend Oreille. Then letting myself sink to the bottom. Then I wouldn’t be a burden to my family. A burden to my friends. Or a burden to myself. But every single time I’d toyed with those dark thoughts, I’d chickened out.
Now I was healthier and happier and had a list of reasons why living was what I wanted and needed to do. Especially now. For the first time in two years, I felt pretty. I felt desirable. I felt like the teenager I’d been before the accident…maybe even better.
