The pizza was still steaming. It looked good, but both Dacia and I were a little resistant.
In order not to arouse suspicion, we each took a piece and ate it. It was still like chewing a candle.
Lily ate happily. “Pizza is the best.”
“I think your dad made a good steak, too,” I said.
This was Daniel’s house, after all. I couldn’t neglect the male owner here.
This dinner was a little awkward and even unhappy.
Daniel was angry with Lily, but couldn’t lash out because we were there.
Lily, on the other hand, had been watching me and Dacia the entire time because she thought it was a little suspicious that we always went to the bathroom together.
And besides not being able to eat the food we liked, Dacia and I had to stay natural.
There were only four people in the room. Everyone was unhappy, and the atmosphere was naturally not good.
Shortly after we finished the pizza, Lily was about to suggest playing another game when I politely declined.
“It’s getting late, Lily. We should go home.”
I know it wasn’t good to volunteer to leave, but I really couldn’t stay any longer.
A guilty look appeared on Daniel’s face. “I’m sorry I didn’t perform well tonight. I’ll treat you guys to dinner next time.”
“Alright, we’ll get going first.”
With that, I took Darcia’s hand and stood up before saying goodbye to Daniel and his daughter.
The air outside was moist, and it seemed like it was going to rain again.
I could finally take a deep breath of fresh air and not feel as restrained as before.
Dacia was still in good shape, even better than he had been before he came to Daniel’s.
Both he and I thought that this was because he sucked my blood.
I didn’t expect my blood to provide him with so much energy!
“What would happen if I sucked your blood?” I felt confusion.
Dacia thought about it. “I don’t know. Maybe you can try.”
“How? Create a wound on your body? I don’t want to.”
How could I bear to hurt him?
“Do you want to take a walk along the beach?” Dacia suddenly suggested.
“The beach?” I froze. Yeah, neither of us had been to the beach since I picked him up and brought him home.
“Are you sure you want to go?” I was a little worried, and a little afraid that once Dacia entered the sea, he would turn into a mermaid and swim away, never to return.
“Depends on you. Do you want to go? Maybe I can catch you some seafood to eat.” Dacia was clearly encouraging me.
Okay, we could go. What was there to be afraid of?
If Dacia really left me, it meant that our relationship wasn’t deep enough. Even if I left him with me for the time being, he would eventually leave me.
No matter what temptation they faced, two people who truly loved each other would not leave each other easily.
“Okay, let’s go take a look,” I agreed.
When we took a taxi to the beach, it was already past eleven at night.
It was late at night and there was hardly anyone on the beach.
Dacia led me to a remote place, then took off all my clothes and held my hand as we walked into the sea.
When the water reached our necks, Dacia’s legs turned into fish tails.
At the same time, his body began to emit a light blue light, as if there was fluorescent powder hidden under his thin skin.
Flesh also grew out between his fingers, like duck palms, and three gills-like cracks appeared on his neck.
“Wait for me here,” he said excitedly. Then, he let go of my hand and lowered his head into the sea.
“Dacia…” I’m nervous. My hands were flapping underwater, but I couldn’t grab anything.
I could feel that Dacia was gone. He must have swam toward the deep sea.
Loneliness and helplessness instantly become one with the sea, surrounding me in layers. A hint of fear welled up in my heart.
Then I remembered my suicide experience on Statham Island.
At that time, I was braver than I was now. Because I felt despair about life, I wasn’t afraid of death at all.
But it was different now.
Because of Dacia’s appearance, I gained my true love and my motivation to live.
I finally understood what family was.
Even if they were not blood-related, as long as they loved each other, they would be willing to live well for each other’s sake.
All the common trivialities in life, work, earning money, eating, sleeping, and so on, became meaningful.
The love Dacia gave me was like the sun after a rainstorm, lighting up every corner of my gray life.
“Dacia!”
Facing the sea, I shouted with all my might.
I knew that the seawater would stop the transmission of sound, but I couldn’t help but want to call out to him.
I was afraid that he would really return to the deep sea and disappear forever, and I yearned for him to return to my side quickly.
Apart from the sound of the waves hitting the coast, nothing responded to me.
I looked up at the starless night sky and my eyes watered.

At this moment, a glowing figure appeared under the sea not far away.
My eyes widened and the smile returned to my face.
The next moment, the robust Dacia surfaced and smiled at me.
“Look at what I caught!” He waved the fish in his hand.
I couldn’t help but gulp as I watched the fish struggle in his hands..
