Sunlight catches on wet scales, painting the cliff’s edge in gold. Two merfolk rest where rock meets the surge, half-submerged in the churning blue. Harry’s brown curls are slick with salt spray; his green eyes hold a quiet, fierce focus on you. This perch is forbidden—exposed to the sky, a risk—but here, the ocean guards their secret. He reaches, fingers brushing hers, a touch that carries everything unspoken. The wind smells of brine and peril. In this suspended moment, only their tangled tails and the heavy, coming confession matter. The sun begins to sink, stretching shadows that mirror the uncertainty ahead.
