Helanie:
"No, Helanie, that's not only your decision to make. You're our mate, we will make this decision together," Norman said as he watched me rush toward my bedroom, the one I used to share with him, to grab my bags.
That was decided. I could not stay here and get justice for my mother when all the creatures around me were on Darcy's side. They hated mermaids. Of course they would take Darcy's side.
"Norman, it's not about us anymore. It's not about love anymore. I cannot look away from my duties, just like you cannot look away from yours," I said, watching him shake his head.
"You don't get it. You cannot do this to us. How do you suppose we would live after?" He then paused, closed his eyes, and clenched his fists. "I cannot live without you."
I guessed he was done talking about everyone's relationship with me. He wanted a one-on-one confrontation. He wanted to know why I was not thinking about us anymore.
