Your wifes POV:
You put on the clothing your husband bought for you and you look around the shack. You now wear a simple blouse and jeans and a pair of flat shoes. Not very stylish but who knows how much longer you can wear these. It was getting really dark now so with nothing to do, you decide to sleep with only the car blanket to lay on. If only you could sleep in your own bed again, no curse, just to live your normal life. In only a single day, you are now sleeping in an abandoned and cold shack away from friends and family. You try for about an hour but you just cannot drift to sleep.
You didn't know what time it was either due to no phone or access to at least a radio. Peeling off scales and waiting for midnight was the only entertainment. Midnight was a couple of minutes away without you realizing. You successfully remove the scales and set it by you, you can just about see them due to the moonlight in the window. After examining them one by one, you lay and stare at the ceiling. Thinking about your future as a disgusting mermaid. Then before long, you are startled by some pain around your waist. The same pain you experience each midnight. The scales disappeared from your view next to you and were again painfully growing on your waist. You want to know what changes are happening tonight and a sharp pain in your feet answers your question.
Because it is cold, you have left your shoes on but you look at the shoes carefully as the pain worsens. The material is starting to expand because your feet are starting to grow. And each second that passes, you can only watch as the shoes are ready to burst. Then, the toes explode out and you see your feet in their new state. The webbed feet have now grown a few sizes longer like they have stretched out. They were slightly flatter as well but the bones and toes were still visible. The curse had started to become more visible now so you wonder how much longer you can go until you can no longer walk.
