Maid for Him
Couples swayed together-Benjamin with Miriam, the King with the Queen, Cressida with Edgar, and many more.
As Amber and Arnold danced, she noticed a woman standing quietly at the edge of the gathering, her beauty otherworldly. Her breath caught. Mermaid.
Their eyes met, and Mermaid smiled warmly. A man near her attempted to charm her, but she dismissed him gently. Instead, her gaze lingered on the sculpture, then on Benjamin and Miriam, who watched her in awe. Even Arnold felt her significance and bowed slightly in respect.
With a final smile at Amber, Mermaid turned, slipped into a quiet corridor, and-when sure she was unseen-vanished like mist into the air.
