I watched the water, scanning it for the millionth time.  There were no ripples, no sign of life other than the occasional cricket. I bit my lip, staring out over the waves. 
"Where are you?"
Sighing, I turned away, making my way back over the rocks. 
A splash echoed behind me, and I gasped. Spinning around to face the water-
I lost my balance. 
I'm falling. 
I felt my head hit a rock, and everything went black.

Zoe Alabaster has based her entire life on a moment in her childhood: when she saw a selkie. She now works as a cryptozoologist, trying to prove the existence of creatures humans never believed possible. Her first research project, the one that will change everything? Finding proof of the selkie she saw as a young child. 
She never expected to really find proof. 
And she definitely never expected to fall in love with the creature she's dreamed of finding her entire life. 
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Just to clarify, this is a story about a lesbian zoologist and a (bi? lesbian? pan? who knows) selkie girl. Have fun reading!
