    ❝    remember    when    i    told    you    everything    happens    for    a    reason,    lobinho?    ❞    marina    was    far    from    being    as    booksmart    as    randalls    was.    how    admirable    it    was    to    her    that    he    studied    at    a    real    university!    she    could    barely    read    or    write    in    her    own    native    language,    speaking    english    had    been    a    gift    granted    by    the    orixás    so    she    could    achieve    her    purposes    on    land,    and    of    course    to    talk    to    him.    yet    she    had    never    ending    spiritual    knowledge,    a    different    perspective    of    mundane    life    events,    perhaps    forgetting    about    the    torture    they    went    through    was    easier    to    her.    randall    needed    her    help.    ❝    we    were    meant    to    find    each    other.    even    if    it    was    through    the    most    painful    of    our    days    …    you    and    i    overcame    it    together.    we    were    able    to    transform    violence    into    love.    see    how    blessed    we    are?    so    of    course    i’d    endure    it    all    again    to    meet    you.    anywhere    is    a    little    piece    of    aruanda,    or    heaven,    as    you’d    call    it,    if    i    get    to    be    with    you.    even    that    place.    so    you    can    stop    remembering,    querido.    ❞

             ❝    remember    that    slice    of    𝒔𝒕𝒓𝒂𝒘𝒃𝒆𝒓𝒓𝒚    𝒄𝒂𝒌𝒆   you    left    in    the    fridge?    i    just    had    it.    it    wasn’t    jack,    or    anyone    else.    it    was    me.    ❞

she   covers   her   eyes   from   the   sun.         ❝      seriously?      ❞      she's   looking   at   his   extended   hand   as   he   stands   above   her.      his   words   stomp   her.      they   were   just   talking,      &      now   he's   on   his   feet,   asking   her   to   dance   with   him   in   the   middle   of   a   park   .   .   .      with   no   music.      she   looks   around,   but   no   one   is   even   paying   attention   to   him.      she's   hesitant,   but   when   could   she   ever   say   no   to   his   smile   before?      she   takes   his   hand,      &      jumps   up.      her   grin   mimics   hers,   holding   his   hand.      it's   still   surreal,   but   it   feels   so   perfect.      to   be   with   him.      to   be   on   a   date.      to   be   together.         ❝      there's   no   music.      ❞

    he    was    so    beyond    adorable.    a    glance    towards    that    boy    and    marina    could    already    feel    her    heart    skipping    a    beat.    those    eyes    of    his,    so    full    of    warmth    and    overflowing    kindness,    almost    as    if    he    was    a    mirror    of    her    own    beautiful    soul.    ❝    me?    𝒅𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒈?    𝒐𝒉,    𝒏𝒐.    i’m    not.    ❞    the    mermaid    responds    as    if    such    event    was    something    beyond    farfetched,    a    mischievous    smirk    before    a    step    forward    was    taken,    plump    lips    brushing    against    his    cheek    as    she    whispered    flirtatiously.    ❝    why    you    ask,    wolf    boy?    wanna    take     me    out    on    a    date?    ❞

    ❝    my    mom’s    upset    with    me.    ❞    the    young    mermaid    shrugged.    ❝    she    hates    it    whenever    i    experiment    with    different    types    of    magic.    it’s    like    even    you    get    a    little    upset    with    me    when    i    try    to    learn    𝒎𝒐𝒓𝒆    𝒑𝒐𝒘𝒆𝒓𝒇𝒖𝒍    𝒕𝒚𝒑𝒆𝒔   of    things.    ❞
