Bob laughed. “Please? That all you got?”
Large hands grasped Fin by the shoulders, held tight against his struggles, and pressed him onto the dock stretching over the icy water.
Pressed to the edge, Fin saw everything with perfect clarity. Snow covered beaches, epic mountains filling the horizon, and all that ice cold water.
Then he was flying, swimming, gasping, and being pulled out of the icy depths.
“We do this every year! Welcome to the family!”
Fin wondered what he married into.

Not the ‘family’ I was expecting at the end. Fin must be very committed to his relationship 🙂 Good fun.

Men sure do weird stuff that they think is funny. Fin will be initiating someone one else someday, forgetting his terror. Weird 🙂
