As expected, things didn't progress beyond the one dinner with Maya. It was the same old story. Brennan hadn't had much luck with dating in the past and didn't expect that to change.
He didn't care about something as unreliable as romance. He had more important things to do.
Unless there was another ocean-loving water fairy weirdo out there somewhere, he would never be understood by his kind. It was ironic that he felt more comfortable being himself around a mermaid than he ever had other fairies.
Not since losing his family anyway. Back then, Brennan hadn't so much as heard of the ocean before. His whole life revolved around his stream and that was how he had liked it until he lost everyone he cared about and went out in search of something new to give his life meaning.
He found it but not in an "acceptable" water fairy way. Why did they have to give him such a hard time about the ocean? It was water too!
