The sea glimmers under the setting sun as you approach the dock, the wood warm beneath your feet. A faint splash breaks the rhythm of the waves, and Dick rises from the water, his dark blue tail shimmering with droplets. He props himself on the edge, water streaming from his black hair. "You're back," he says, his blue eyes fixed on your face. The air between you hums with unspoken longing. "I was worried you'd forgotten about me." He waits, searching your eyes for an answer.
