“I think it might be best to stay away from them.”

Permanently.

By the heavens, how could he explain to her why she couldn’t go near the pale people in the shack? How did you tell a perfectly normal human that those two wanted to eat her for dinner?

“I’m sure they’re harmless. The Rowans wouldn’t let them on the island if they were dangerous.” She looked up at the sky. “There are a million stars up there tonight.”

“You’re a writer, Susie. More specifically, you write romance. Sometimes your stories had paranormal elements in them.”

“How did you know that? You acted like you hadn’t read my books earlier.”

“Please let me finish and then I’ll answer your questions. I promise. Have you ever given thought to the idea that the fantasy might all be real?” He stared in her eyes, wishing he could read her mind.

“Are you asking me if I could explore the idea that there are vampires, werewolves, ghosts, and other creepy crawly things running around out there in the universe?”

He nodded. At some point, he’d clenched his fists. Never in his life could he remember being so tense. “Yes. If that’s how you want to describe it. Creepy and crawly. Some might argue that it’s just a question of a different species altogether. People, if you will, who have been around since before you were.”

She squeezed his hand. “You’re serious about this and you want a serious answer?”

“Yes, very.”

Dana and Cemil thought he should tell her the truth. But what if he did and she didn’t believe him? Or worse—thought him something dangerous? It would ruin the rest of the little time they did have together. He would not—could not—allow that.

“I suppose that if someone could prove it to me I’d accept it. I mean, who am I to say what is or is not out there in the world? But I’d need to see it. I don’t think someone coming up to me and saying ‘Hey, you know what? I’m a mermaid.’ is going to convince me. I’ll need to see the fins, so to speak.”

“Right.” He nodded. That was going to be a very big problem. He couldn’t exactly prove to her that he was her Muse, short of someone suddenly coming up with a cure for cancer just by standing in his presence.

“Look.” She brushed her head against his side. “I feel connected to you. I mean, this is insane. I don’t know anything about you. I can’t stop thinking of you and I’m wondering if you’re exactly what I need to get over what has been wrong with me lately. Do you think I could be what you’ve been searching for?”
