Ariel smiled at the small story about Lily. She was glad to have heard it and was thankful John had shared it with her. "I hope you always hold Lily close to your heart. She sounds very special, even if she was just a guitar. And though she may not be here, I hope you find something like her to enjoy just as much." It sounded almost like a makeshift love story and they would find each other again of it was truly meant to be.
Then delight filled her as he offered, and her arm lifted to encircle his. "Yes! I would love that, please!"
As they moved, she followed and looked about, "My people are not known for their instruments," Ariel explained, turning her gaze to John. "We are gifted singers. Vocalizing." Ariel had been blessed with the most beautiful voice in the sea. Even out of all of her older sisters, it had been her that had been held highest when it came to being vocal. Atinna, her eldest sister and heiress to the Kingdom, had always been jealous of Ariel's voice.
