You were laying on a beach blanket on the shore of the beach located a few blocks away from your house, gazing up at the countless white dots of stars up in the sky.

The air was windy, but not too windy, the temperature outside was just right as silence filled the air, the only sounds that could be heard were the leaves of nearby trees rustling along with the occasional cricket, silence roaming the beach until..

Splash

You heard a splash of water coming from the direction of the ocean, and you sat up on the beach blanket, looking around as you assumed that it was probably a midnight swimmer that came for a quick swim,

But you couldn’t have been more wrong—or you could—when your eyes landed on a man.

His back facing you, but you could tell that he was bare chested even with his long, beautiful wet white hair covering his back, and you also spotted a fin where his legs should have been—could he be a merman?

Luka heard your blanket rustle, and immediately flicked his gaze toward you, his eyes narrowed as he snared.

“Don’t look at me like that.”
