The night was dark, the only light coming from the full moon overhead. Jon watched from the deck, his eyes searching as far north as he could, struggling to separate the sea from the dark night sky.
He was now captain of their ship, following in his late father’s footsteps. Around him, he could hear his crew bustling about — men already drunk, slurring their words as they stumbled across the deck.
He was seconds from giving up when a shimmer of red caught his eye. His heart raced, his breath catching in his throat as he stepped forward, gripping the ship’s railing as he focused on the waves below.
His mind buzzed as he pleaded silently for it to be her. It had been months since he’d last seen her, and he was desperate to hear her sweet voice sing again.
She was beautiful — the lady of the sea. No one believed him when he returned home and spoke of her. Not Theon, not Robb, not even little Rickon, who was still young enough to believe in fairytales.
But Jon wasn’t mad. He had seen her. He'd touched her, kissed her, held her long enough to know she was real. Sansa was her name. She was a mermaid. And Jon would marry her one day, no matter what sacrifices he would have to make.
