Before Lilia got the time to express more concern, the doorbell rang. "It must be them!" Exclaimed Drew. "Don't move, I've got it!"
It wasn't like Lilia was able to do much in her current condition. And how his sister knew where Drew lived?
On the living room, her beloved was effectively with is family. "It's good to finally see you after so long, drew." Said his sister.
"Good to see you too, Julia." Then he turned to his niece. "Hi, Ondine! Not so little any more, are you?"
He was about to salute his in-law when Julia asked "So… Where the thief that have stolen my brother's heart? Is she hiding?"
"Well, about that… I just discovered that she is a mermaid. Tonight. Just before you came here." He then addressed the only other male in the room. "Say, Ariel. Do you know what to do in case of potion-malfunction?"
"Where is she?!?" Asked the panicked mereman. When Drew pointed to the bathroom, Ariel run to Lilia rescue.
"Miss, you're dieing. I think I can save you, but the price will be heavy, changing your life forever."
