Sam couldn't help himself but hold back his smile at Zahra in the passenger seat. The entire drive back to his home, the mermaid was jumping in her seat as well with humming. While he was enjoying her reactions, he couldn't help but feel distraught.

She reminded him of Seth Clearwater in many ways. The rambunctious and energetic boy that he was close with before he imprinted on Emily.

The guilt would always reside in his mind of allowing himself to fall in love with Emily when he had the choice on just being her protector or friend.

He went each day being deeply reminded that he broke Leah's heart. He kept himself in the relationship when he was also allowing himself to fall in love with her own cousin.

He loved Emily, but he knew deep down his love for Leah would never disappear. She was there for him at his worst times and he was not sure if the pain of regret would ever disappear.

Zahra who was humming had come to a stop when she felt the air of the car turn cold. Her gaze fell onto Sam and she tilted her head," Sam, are you okay?"

He froze in place the moment that question came out of her mouth. He gave her a discreet look not wanting to remove his eyes from the road," Why do you ask?"

Zahra tightened her lips in a frown debating if she should tell him that she could feel his regret. She remembered Quil telling her to always be wary of some topics, such as Emily's scar.

"Zahra?" He called out to her snapping the female's mind back to reality. She didn't respond opening her mouth only to shut it immediately.

Sam realized her current uncertainty so he ended up pulling to the side of the road and shutting off the ignition.

"I'm sorry, Sam" She quickly apologized and lowered her head," I didn't mean to point out your emotions"

He quirked an eyebrow at her words and turned to face towards her," Wait, what do you mean?" Zahra closed her eyes letting out a small breath peering up to face him.

"Quil noticed-but he told me I didn't have to mention it. I just assumed everyone could do it"

"Do what exactly?" He asked slowly

"I can feel strong emotions"

"So, like an Empathic?"

"Yeah, I think that's what Quil called it, but I guess it's just a Selkie thing," Zahra mumbled

"What do you feel coming from me?" Sam decided to ask and he observed the small female who let out another breath.

Zahra took a moment before she said the next words slowly "I feel deep regret"
