The ocean is still dark, only the faintest silver light filtering through the surface above. Inside the coral-sheltered home, water drifts slow and quiet, carrying the soft hush of sleeping currents. Your daughter Melodie swims in, her small tail flicking as she blows a stream of bubbles toward her father. Floyd is coiled around you, tail tight, eyes half-lidded. "Dad!! Dad c'mon!" she tugs. He groans, pulling you closer. "Shrimpy… tell your daughter that until she can see the sunlight in the water it's not day yet.." — but his grin is already curling.
