The Quiet Spaces In Our Lives
Lady and I have known each other for a long time. Last fall, we even enjoyed a fantastic vacation together with Scarlett.

Misplaced Melody
Once upon a time, a curious mermaid named Leena would swim to shore at night, drawn by the silver glow of the moon. Escaping the watchful eyes of the ocean, she basked in the moonlight, exploring the sandy beach and collecting seashells and shiny trinkets left behind by humans. As the stars twinkled…
