Disclaimer:
I don't own any of these characters. They are all from the 1979 live-action film by Image Entertainment and based after the Characters of Hans Christian Anderson's fairytale.
Author's Note:
This is a sequel to my first Little Mermaid story, Of Love and Sacrifice.
Part I
Antoine looked far out over the sea. It had now been four years since he had last seen his little mermaid princess and though he was living life at it's fullest, he couldn't help but think about her. He still missed her and he still loved her, though he'd never tell a soul. If only he could see her again.
"Antoine? What are you doing out here?" His wife walked over to him. The years had only multiplied her beauty and though she was a beautiful image to look at, he knew inside she had a heart of stone.
"I was thinking."
"Well, could you think inside? It's bitterly chilly out here and you could catch a cold."
Like everything, he knew her concern was only for herself. She would probably care less what he did, but whatever time he spent alone, he spent without her and she hated that. She always strived to be the center of attention.
"I'll be in soon." He promised and waited until she had gone back inside before looking back out at the ocean. He found that he had been doing this more and more often. It was a comfort to him. After all, though life was easy, he had yet to find all the pieces to his heart long-broken and put them back together.
