Summary
Merrill knows how all the stories end, but by the time she remembers, she is already captured in a new story's beginning.
"Come," she says softly and the woman rises from the sea like a wave, bones and skin glistening from salt. Her hair is long and dripping wet; later, she binds it back with a bandana Merrill gives her. Merrill knows better than that, but she still asks, "What's your name?"
The woman stands naked in front of her, naked and unashamed and smiling. There is blood on her teeth and tears in her eyes, but the contact is soft when her fingers touch Merrill's cheek before she shakes her head, laughing.
"What should I call you, then?" Merrill asks and oh, how she is already in love even though she knows how all the stories end.
"Isabela," the sea woman says and laughs again as if it was a joke only she could understand, taking Merrill's hand in her own. //// Some Merribela.
