No coin nor oath required. For personal study only.
Stephens lover Emmett accuses him of being boring and way too predictable. To prove him wrong, Stephen plans a surprise romantic getaway to a cabin on the river. But Emmett has plans of his own for romance -- ones that dont include Stephen anymore.
Depressed at yet another break-up, Stephen wonders if it isnt time to give up hope. But finding that elusive man he longs for -- the one willing to risk everything to be with him -- would take a miracle.
So Stephen travels alone to the cabin in search of a new perspective. Resolving to be more adventurous, he tries kayaking for the first time in his life. Its great until he dozes off and wakes in the middle of a raging flood.
Terrified, he fights for his life, nearly losing his battle with the river. On the edge of surrender, hes rescued by an unusual stranger who might not really exist.
Nothing makes any sense after that. Mystical explanations seem no less likely than rational ones. But does it matter? Because if Stephen wants an adventure, taking one last chance on love might turn out to be the best one of all.
