I smile, because he’s right. I’m going to try an inward dive, and if it works, great. If it doesn’t…nothing hangs on this specific dive, does it? Actually, nothing hangs on most dives. If I’m honest, nothing hangs on my overall ability to dive, either. It’s true. Whether I manage to do this or not, when I get out of the pool, I’m still going to be me. And Lukas…Lukas is still going to be here. And admitting it to myself is such an odd relief, I find myself laughing.
