Laura Summers wasn't the only clothing designer on the island—there were several other masters. Designing a couple of new outfits for Jennifer that suited her tastes was no trouble at all.
So, after being showered with compliments, Jennifer was ecstatic. And that's when Faye Yardley witnessed what it meant to cry tears of joy.
This was…
Tears streamed down her face, and pearls clattered all over the ground.
'If Merlings love to cry so much, why are Mermaid Pearls still so rare?'
'Is it just because the Merling race itself is rare?'
Whatever the reason, it was another great haul. A happy occasion indeed.
Faye Yardley noticed that whenever Jennifer cried too much, she would need to rest. So, after leaving a floor full of pearls behind, she dove into the sea and headed home.
The night sky over Conch Isle was dotted with stars, and the evening breeze was cool.
But even at night, the island's inhabitants were still bustling about.
