   Summary

   As Paani paddles down the Mississippi, he finds himself thinking about Kwazii. About his regrets, his wishes, and what-ifs.
   The title and song lyrics used in the fic are from the song Never Love An Anchor by The Crane Wives.
   This fic is entirely separate from my other Kwazii and Paani fics. Totally different.
