After My Water-Fearing Boyfriend Rafted For Her, I Let Go

Hubert Henson's parents drowned, so his fear of water ran deep, all the way to the bone. After he was brought to live with my family, I sat outside the bathroom door every night while he bathed, keeping him company. For his sake, I never went to the aquarium again, and I didn't even dare to drink water in big gulps. The year of my SATs, I gave up a top art school and stayed here in the city to study psychology instead.
