Lisa wrapped her arms around Kendra to return the hug. “I’m glad you think of me as a friend; and I’m even more glad I finally have a friend who shares my secret.”
Lisa’s hands traveled from Kendra’s back to the back of her head and before Kendra knew what was happening, Lisa’s lips were firmly pressed against her own. Kendra let out a shout muffled by her new friend’s lips. Lisa quickly broke the kiss and swam back a foot or so. Both mermaids gazed at each other with a look of shock before Lisa sheepishly turned away.
“I-I-I’m sorry, Kendra!” Lisa said, her voice cracking up. “I-If you’re not that way, I mean, my mother said, most mermaids are bisexual, but ex-mermaid daughters might not… W-We can forget this ever happened if you want.”
