The small islands littering the Atlantic coast off of Maine were great places to fish if you were human and seal alike, and especially if you were a mermaid. The Lunaria spent most of their time in the water between the islands, running with the fish from Monhegan Island north to the much larger Allen Island. In order to protect our fishing and breeding ground, we moved back and forth between the two, basking on the smaller islands and rocks.

It wasn’t a coincidence that Tom went missing in the same area. The Lunaria had scouts in the human world, and they knew plenty about the fishing boats and the humans who ran them. There was no question that my tribe, Dianna specifically, knew who Tom was and where I ended up.

The question now was what they wanted with Tom and where they had taken him.

Unfortunately, there was only one way to find out. As much as I hated the idea, if I wanted to know what happened to Tom, I’d have to go see for myself. That must be what Diana wanted. This was her way of calling me to her. Obviously there was something she wanted from me, most likely something she needed me to do. That was her M.O. after all, getting me to do whatever she wanted by any means necessary. But it hadn’t happened the last time she tried it, and it wasn’t going to happen this time. At least not the way she wanted it to.

I couldn’t return to the tribe. I had been exiled, and there was a chance I could be killed if I’d misinterpreted the situation. If Tom was missing and it had nothing to do with the Lunaria, I would be sailing into hostile waters. But it Diana was holding my husband, I would never forgive myself for not going to him. Diana could be ruthless when she wanted to be, and humans were by far not her favorite species.

Mandy had taken Doc with her after hearing the news, hoping to lighten my responsibilities. She loved having Doc around, and while I was happy to loan my puppy out when she asked, I really wanted to snuggle with him as I considered my options.

As the night wore on, it started to rain again. Not the downpour of the day before, but a soft smattering of rain that glazed the windows and sounded musical rather than menacing.

I listened, waiting for an answer to come to me. Should I go to Tom, face what I’d avoided our entire life together? Did I avoid the Lunaria and forfeit my chance to see if they had Tom?

Soon I realized my options weren’t truly options. I waited long enough, and now the decision was made. There was only one answer.

I needed to go to Tom.

My husband had accepted me when I was at my most vulnerable. Dejected by my lover and banished from my home, I entered the human world looking for a place to hide.
