The sad truth about her and Jordan Riggs was that she knew that he wasn't in love with her but comforted herself with everything else.
But she was lucky, compared to the mermaid.
She did not turn into a bubble. But she returned to the sea and met Keith.
She couldn't change the ending of the fairy tale; however, in her own tale, she had a different choice, and it turned into a happy ending.
She was suddenly very grateful.
Looking back, Keith's gaze hadn't turned away, the tenderness in his eyes was like water, she instantly melted and could never step out again.
He was trying to understand what she was feeling. Her eyes were filled with emotions that he found strange. He took that as thank you for being here.
With a chuckle, he raised his hand and gently caressed Cathryn's dark, long hair.
They walked along the riverbank, had a nice afternoon tea at a dock, and finally drove to Opernhaus Düsseldorf, where their aunt Greta was performing tonight.
