My fingers ached as I pried a box from the sides of my mail slot. I ripped it open with my bare hands, and found a note written in cursive: "Put both feet into the box." I raised my eyebrows and smirked, but I stepped into the box. The base folded in on itself, and my feet crashed into waves. My lover floated with the seaweed until he finally reached me. His hands brushed my shoulders, and I whispered, "I think we're lost." My arms burned as I valiantly fought to reach the uneven surface, but his eyes sparkled with mischief as he took my webbed hands, pulling me toward the ocean floor. Flashes of light hit my eyes. and he led me toward the light. My fingers brushed the floor, then wrapped around a rough chain, and my heart punched my chest. Glittering diamonds surrounded a heart of azure sapphires. He led me back to the surface as the heart overpowered me. He unclasped it with ease, placing it around my neck. As my hand lightly rested in his, the water droplets joined us as we flew toward the sky right back out of the box, our hands still intertwined.
