viii. Kiss the Girl

The prince offered to give them a tour of his kingdom. She tried to refuse his offer, but Dominus was quick to agree to the tour.

Assured that they could still go back to what they had before. Maybe he could still convince her to return to their kind. Maybe he could make her see that the ocean is where she belongs.

"The prince is doing his best to play a tune. Let's honor him with a dance," his deep voice made her heart thump faster.
