Maid for Him
“Like I always say, you worry too much. It’s great over there, and like you said, I’m not there to beg but to work.”

Amber wanted to change the subject and immediately remembered the mermaid incident. She decided to mention it. It was perfect timing, and it was a subject guaranteed to provide a distraction, she believed.
“Mother, I saw a mermaid in the river at Isis’s place,” she said, and Miriam gasped in surprise. Amber mentally patted herself on the back for finding the perfect distraction.
“Really?” Miriam asked, and Amber nodded.
“Folktales tell that Upland’s deity was a mermaid who abandoned the people for the constant wickedness many engaged in.”
