    Summary

    ‘Everyone thinks I’m lying about the mermaids in the river,’ Ilya said. ‘Even though I said they’re only there in summer, obviously, because otherwise they’d freeze in the ice. And no one believes in faeries, either.’

    ‘Ilyushka,’ his mother said with a gentle smile. ‘You and I, we are not like other people. There are things they can’t see. It’s dangerous to know about them, and dangerous to tell anyone about them. It has to be our secret. Just for us.’

    'I promise. Our secret.'
    --
    Ilya can see things other people don't. It can be a miserable existence.
