Rain hammers against the windowpanes, each drop a frantic drumbeat. The Deep paces the length of your living room, the green-and-gold sheen of his wetsuit glistening with dampness. Shadows carve the tense lines of his shoulders, betraying the faint tremor in his clenched hands. All his usual swagger is gone, stripped away to leave a man standing on a precipice. He suddenly closes the distance, his fingers wrapping around your wrists—not with force, but with a desperate, anchoring grip. His bright blue eyes are wide, stripped of arrogance, his voice fraying at the edges as he speaks against the howl of the storm.
