Chapter 121: Chapter 121: Marinah: Del Rey (Love Island)

“Stare at water, pretty butterfly,” Cosway instructs while she pets the small tabby cat she kept for herself. It’s Callie’s brother even though they look nothing alike.

Butterfly is the name Cosway chose for me. She’s the only human besides Ruth, Che, and their mothers who has no fear, even if I were to shift into Nova. She accepts me completely for who I am even though that person is extremely screwed up right now.

Since Cosway came to the island, her skin has softened with repeated washing, and her hair is no longer something from the legends of Medusa. I’m envious of the soft auburn color that has a wavy quality with delicate wisps and everything. Her brown eyes shine with a light that attracts people. Or maybe it’s her entire persona. She just makes you feel comforted when you’re with her.
