Quinn scribbles tainted emotions across thin layers of white paper. But to who? To someone who blinks once, sees her, and blinks again-just to make her disappear. To someone who sees her as a symbol of the ocean. To someone who thinks the ocean is disgusting and hideous, filled with trash and pathetic wandering fishes.

"just hold me," and he does.

"Never?" Another tear fell from the girl's face, but she let the salty drop cascade down her cheek. "Never."
