“Are you okay for a bit?” Dad asked as they walked through town. “I have an appointment with a new investor, but that’s all for the day.”

After she finally admitted everything that had been going on, they’d gotten even closer. Two weeks since she’d seen the faeries, and River was lucky enough to say her relationship with her father had changed for the better.

They could talk about things they never had been able to before. He told her stories about her mother. She asked him questions about what he knew of faeries. And together, they grew and took huge steps forward to trusting each other again.

She had brought up the idea of moving out, but they both agreed it wasn’t worth it in the long run. She still needed to figure out what she wanted in life. And her father was happy to have her without the barrier of secrets holding them both back.

Thankfully, she had someone in her life who wanted to support her no matter what.

River grinned and waved him off. “Go work, Dad. I’m going to poke around some shops.”

“Stop and get me a coffee, would you?” He rubbed his eyes and yawned. “I didn’t sleep well last night.”

“Sure thing, Dad.”

They parted ways, and she felt a grin stretch across her lips.

Life was easier without faeries messing with it. Now that she knew she wasn’t human, River also realized it was okay to stand out so much. She didn’t care when people stared at her. It didn’t matter that they whispered behind their normal hands about how odd she was. Compared to them, River was different.

And she was learning how to be okay with that.

Whistling as she strode down the street, River decided to get the coffees first. She could drop them off with her father and then have the afternoon to herself. Maybe she’d even pick up a new book at the store and read about something other than faeries.

What was the exact opposite of a faerie? Werewolves?

Maybe just a mundane human romance. Contemporary. Something with a little spice so she could stay up all night reading. That sounded better than any old fairytale.

Down the street she went, only to pass by a brand new sign pointing down the cliff side town and to the ocean. The neon blue blinked obnoxiously bright even in the daylight. “Into the Blue,” it said.

“Strange,” she muttered under her breath. There wasn’t a store down there. No one could build so close to the ocean.

When had that sign gotten there?

An uneasy feeling made her stomach churn. The faeries didn’t care about her anymore, right? She’d asked him to leave her alone, and he hadn’t responded. He was leaving her alone.

Except, she wasn’t certain he actually would leave her alone. No matter how much she asked him to.

River couldn’t put aside the feeling someone was watching her after she saw the sign. And even though she looked up and down the street, she only saw familiar faces. Which meant the faeries were either still in the ocean where they belonged, or they were hiding from her.
