Description
The town of Larne was known for its unpredictable weather, and today was no exception. As the rain began to pour, Chloe sat by her window, a hint of disappointment in her eyes. She was due to meet her best friend, Marie, at the local café. But she couldn’t risk it, for she had a secret. A single drop of rain on her skin, and she'd transform into a mermaid.
Suddenly, there was a knock at the door. Marie, drenched from head to toe, stood there, a playful smile on her face. Before Chloe could react, Marie gave her a tight, wet hug. Almost instantly, Chloe felt a tingling sensation. She broke away and bolted towards the bathroom.
"Chloe, please tell me what's wrong," Marie pleaded from outside.
Tears filled Chloe's eyes. Marie was her best friend. If she couldn't trust Marie, then who could she trust? Taking a deep breath, Chloe replied, "Marie, there's something I need to show you."
Hesitantly, Chloe unlocked the door. Marie's eyes widened in shock as she saw Chloe's tail. For a moment, there was silence. Then Marie stepped forward and gently hugged Chloe. "I promise, your secret is safe with me," Marie whispered.
Chloe looked into Marie's eyes, gratitude shining through. "Thank you, Marie. I knew I could trust you."
From that day on, their bond grew even stronger. Chloe felt relieved, knowing she had a friend who would stand by her side, no matter what. And Marie felt honoured to be trusted with such a magical secret.
