The ocean was a pane of still glass, shattered by blades of sunlight. Below, a mermaid adorned in scales of deep blue and mercury drifted closer to the beach, lured by the cacophony of youthful joy rebounding from the cliffs. Sheltered behind a rough-hewn boulder, she observed a boisterous group playing a game on the sand. One young man, Chris, commanded attention—his skin gilded by the sun, his presence radiant. He lost his footing in the advancing foam, completely unaware of the secret gaze upon him. Frozen by a potent blend of terror and exhilaration, she held her position, her human facade intact for now, daring to linger in the shadow of discovery for just a few moments more.
