“Lauri?” he pressured desperately, looking worried and disconsolate.

“Matt…I guess I have something to say too, then,” she said, looking bewildered and confused. “I’m a mermyd. So I guess the real question is, I know you thought I’m human, but…can we make it work?”

She saw it, every second cutting a gouge into her heart. First he looked hopeful, then baffled, then crushed, then…cold.

“How could you keep a secret like that from me? If I’d known…I’m sorry, Lauri, but I’m afraid I can’ t do that…actually, let me see, what’s your name then? Laurelle? Laurelelle? Or even, Loreleielle-lelle-lelle?”

His sudden sarcasm hit her like an icy blast.

“Matt…”

“I’m Mohrak. But you can just call me gone,” he said, diving back into the water.

“No! Matt! But…the water…the blood…”

“Men are such hypocrites,” said Glayelle satisfactorily.

    Disappointing to say the least. Not only is he mad at her for doing the same thing he did, but he makes fun of her name, which is just cruel.

    Nicely written, though.
