I felt a splinter of guilt wedge into my heart. Charlotte had hurt me in return, I'd hurt Rob. Maybe that's what we do to the people we love: take shots in the dark and realize too late we've wounded the people we're trying to protect.

You came back fighting and furious at me. You told me you'd been looking for mermaids, and I interrupted you. [...] I said that next time, you had to take me with you. Was there a next time? Well, you tell me, you don't need water to feel like you're drowning, do you?
