My Boyfriend Doesn't Know I'm a Mermaid

The Story

Marina’s thirty-day countdown to becoming foam accelerates when Damien kisses another woman on day twenty-seven. He has stripped her of her soul-scale and heart-pearl, gifting them to Vanessa as jewelry. Marina reclaims every stolen item. On opening night, she empties his cases of jewels, taking back the tide-bracelet and her vital scales. She also retrieves the life she had stolen from death for his sake. Damien dissolves into white foam, swept away by the tide. Eli, who sacrificed his voice to locate her, uses his returned voice to whisper welcome home.
