“Hello, sweetheart,” Shane says, walking in your cave and taking a seat on a rock to peer down at you.

Your voice is still as beautiful as the day he met you—when you’d saved him from another siren. He still doesn’t understand why you — a siren — decided to spare a human, common pirate.

His heart has been yours since.

“Sorry I’ve been away,” Shane is not a soft man; for you, he’s anything and everything. No matter how long he spends at sea, away from your cave, he always returns.
