    She'd started swimming early in the morning, when the kids were asleep, when she thought he was asleep. She didn't know her absence woke him, that the shift in the bed was an earthquake.

The problem with marrying the mermaid girl from the carnival was knowing that one day she'd swim away.

    Men are afraid of mermaids. They want to be near mermaids, but, they're afraid of them. Because a man needs to swim with a mermaid while a boat feels safer. Lots of men want to stay in a boat because they're afraid of drowning. But a mermaid knows: life is just not worth living if you're not ready to drown a few times.
