I fell for a dying human... while hiding that I'm the cursed siren that's slowly killing him. I should never have gone near him. A mortal's love is the one thing forbidden to me. But Elias makes resisting impossible with those bruised songs and eyes that look straight through my lies. I tell myself I'm only staying to keep him safe. But then I end up in his home, wrapped in his music, letting him sketch pieces of me he shouldn't see. He writes melodies that feel like memories I shouldn't have. He watches me like I'm worth saving. And when he kisses me-gods help me-I want to be saved. Somewhere between his collapsing breaths and my unraveling curse, I fall for him. Hard enough to forget every warning written in blood and seawater. But now the truth is rising like a tide I can't outrun. If he learns what I am, he dies- And if he loves me first? His heart might stop anyway.
