Flirt
But who was flirting with whom?
The creature was enamoured by her red bathing costume as she sat on her boat in the lagoon.
She was enamoured by the pearls from the oysters that lived on the bed in the depths of the water, and continually broadcast her wishes in words and songs.
The creature heard her and collected the pearls and fashioned them into a necklace that he placed into a shell. He then rose up through the waves and presented her with his creation.
The necklace was beautiful, but the creature was not handsome.
What should she do?
She wanted the necklace, so she accepted it, and the creature kissed her hand and shyly swam away.
Would she see the creature again?
She didn't know.
The creature may not have been handsome, but it had a heart of gold.
She hoped that one day they would meet again.
She wondered if it could talk.
She would be on the lagoon again tomorrow, maybe they would meet then.

The steps to losing a child
Step One: Lose a child. Not what anyone wants to happen and nothing you can do to change it, but you can go through steps to becoming happy again. You can go through steps to loving again. You can go through steps to become a new you because after losing a child you will never be the same person you once were.

“Alright. Get in, get out.” “What do you mean, get in, get out? You have to buy stuff for a party!” “Yeah, but I know exactly what I need to get. None of that anxious debating between two items for who knows how long. And it’s just stuff for French bread pizza. The others are bringing the rest of the stuff. And I already got the cheese at the other store. Man, I was lucky there was a sale!”

How long before she begins to see how handsome the creature truly is?
Cute stuff! Nicely done Mike! 🌸
Oooo, I hope you do a part 2. I would love to know what happens when they meet again
Oh, beauty is on the inside, and this "creature" has a heart of gold. Sounds like a keeper to me ;)
Most creative. Met up in my life with some creatures I could also love,
Love how you tied up the song, the movie, and the story all together :) LOVED this!!!
