May: Daughters of the Sea #2
“IT’S COLD THIS MORNING!” the little girl shrieked as she waded into the water. “Oh, I forgot my swimming booties. Oh, well. Now, you count to three, Hannah, and then I’ll plunge in.”
May stood behind the thick fringe of the spruce trees that edged the cove of Gladrock. What struck her about the girl called Hannah, who was evidently taking care of the Hawleys’ young child, was the fierce yearning she contained. It was something about the way Hannah stood at the very edge of the beach and seemed ...to strain forward as she looked out of the cove toward the open sea. May recognized the posture. It was exactly the way she had stood perched on the east side of Egg Rock, looking out to sea, ever since she could remember. There was an almost palpable longing, a longing that May had felt herself before she had crossed that border from one world into the other. A deep thrill coursed through her. She wanted to run toward the beach and embrace the girl, and yet instinctively she knew that she must not reveal herself.MoreLess
