Seawater floods into her mouth, choking her. She looks up, gasping for breath-and sees the face of her captor.
He has a tail, btw. A beautiful, shimmering teal fish tail. He looks her in the eyes, cups her face in his hands...and kisses her.

Rose wakes up a while later on the shore. She´s soaking wet...and very confused. What happened? She-she fell into the ocean somehow...she-she almost drowned, she thinks...wait-was there...did someone save her? No...no...
She looks over. There´s someone laying next to her. A boy....
He´s passed out, and he looks sort of familiar, although Rose can´t quite place it. And...he´s completely naked.
