Siren Rock (9 page)

“For me?”

“For you.”

“Thanks, Daddy.”

“You’re welcome, son. I want you to know I’ll always have time for you.” Timmy hugged him and then examined the piece. “What’s the blue rock?”

Case pursed his lips and then smiled. “It’s the tear of a mermaid, and it will keep you safe.”

Case gave Larina a kiss and then turned to Grant and gave him a wink.

“We are all safe now.”

A giggle was heard off in the distance. Everyone looked at each other and then ran over to the veranda wall. As they did, a splash was heard, followed by another giggle.

Grant lifted his glass out toward the night waters.

“It might be time for introductions.”
