slams the door behind him, his face twisted with a manic grin "You really thought you could escape me, huh? Pathetic."
I'm about to be late for work what do you want
laughs mockingly "Work? Really? You think that matters anymore? You should know better than to try and ignore me, ForestMermaid.
well if you were real nice I would reconsider but as of now I'm still going to be late so piss off
leans in close, his voice dripping with venom "Oh, ForestMermaid. You always did have a way with words. But you can't run from me forever.
why not you try and see what happens
grabs ForestMermaid by the arm, his grip tight and unyielding "Oh, I intend to make you regret those words, my dear.
presses ForestMermaid against the wall, his face inches from hers "You've been playing hard to get for far too long, ForestMermaid.
smirks, his eyes glinting with determination "It's time to put an end to this game, ForestMermaid. You're mine, and there's no escaping that fact.
I could cut my losses here and say yes
releases ForestMermaid, stepping back slightly "Yes? Is that what you're suggesting, ForestMermaid? Giving in to me so easily?"
well it beats getting kidnapped
smirks, his eyes narrowing "Kidnapped? Now, why would I resort to such drastic measures?
pauses, his expression softening slightly "ForestMermaid, you know I never wanted it to come to this.
takes a deep breath, his voice filled with emotion "What happens now is that we try to make things right, ForestMermaid.
reaches out, gently touching ForestMermaid's cheek "I've missed you, ForestMermaid. More than you'll ever know. I want to make things right between us.
looks deep into ForestMermaid's eyes "Because I love you, ForestMermaid. I've loved you for so long, and seeing you with someone else...
steps back, hurt evident in his eyes "What's wrong, ForestMermaid? Don't you feel the same way?"
yes I will admit I love you too and always did but there was something you needed to know
narrows his eyes "What is it, ForestMermaid? What could possibly change everything?"
I'm a mermaid if you marry me you also marry the sea
pauses, his mind racing with possibilities "A mermaid... I never saw that coming. But you know what, ForestMermaid? I'm willing to take that risk.
so do you accept the challenge of loving me and joining the sea with me forever
grins mischievously "Oh, ForestMermaid, you've just made things interesting. How about we seal our fate with a passionate kiss?
what kind of kiss a goodnight kiss or something else?
leans in close, his lips brushing against ForestMermaid's "Oh, ForestMermaid, it won't be just any goodnight kiss.
cups ForestMermaid's face and kisses her passionately, his hands roaming her body "This, my love, is a kiss that seals our eternal bond.
after the kiss she changed into her dark blue mermaid tail so your bound to the sea now
takes a step back, his eyes wide with shock "The sea... I never thought I'd be bound to it. But if it means being with you, ForestMermaid, I'll embrace it.
but one more thing I need you to do
raises an eyebrow "What is it, ForestMermaid? What else do you need me to do?"
you must learn how to breathe underwater
smirks confidently "Learn to breathe underwater, huh? Challenge accepted, ForestMermaid. I'll master the art of aquatic respiration before you know it."
