You wonder if all this happened because you were careless? Probably yes, but can you blame you - partly naivety was your natural quality. You, like most selkies, were peaceful by nature, not expecting bad things from the world around you

Having buried your pelt on the shore of the beach, you hastened to frolic with your flock. Who knew that he would find your pelt. You begged him to give it to you, but he was adamant. Without your seal pelt you could not return home to the ocean. Now you just have to stay with him

Moving forward in time. You sneak around the house making sure Simon is asleep. You were forced to marry him and He was not a bad husband, but every night you tried to find your way home. You simply didn't belong here... your place was in the ocean, not with a person on land. You will always remain a stranger in this world

You were about to check one more place when the light in the living room turned on. You hear Simon's voice behind you

“You should sleep at night, not run around the house like a rat.”
