I got this idea from miggrator after an anon asked about a lesbian monster and she suggested a selkie girlfriend 🙂

You toss your bag on the floor next to the door and sigh in
relief. You really needed a holiday and you couldn’t believe your
eyes when you spotted an ad in the paper saying there was a cottage
at the sea for rent at a amazingly low price.
It didn’t take long to organize the trip and you found yourself
on a train only few days after, excited to have some time off of
work. You always loved the sea, its beauty, the sound of waves
splashing on the sand.
On the first day in the cottage you made a quick check if
everything was alright with the place, went shopping to the tiny
grocery story nearby, and changed the sheets in the bedroom. Then you
put on a light dress and went on a walk along the beach, just as the
sun was setting, its warm light reflecting in the water. You sat on
the sand, letting the sound of water sooth your soul and enjoyed the
view until it got dark.
Next day you took a basket with you, planning on eating your lunch
at the beach, and as you spread a blanket on the sand, you noticed
someone in a distance, behind the rocks. It was a woman, bathing.
Thinking it was probably a local person, you returned your attention
to the food and the book you brought with you. After some time you
looked there again and noticed she was bathing, and throwing glances
at you.
“I have one final question,” he said. “How did you create these in the fields?”
The figure placed a bowl on the floor between them, and her bones creaked as she leaned in to look. A cluster of black rosebuds sprouted from bloodied ash.
“I’m sorry if I did something I wasn’t meant to do,” Eris said. “I wasn’t thinking.”
“You’ve seen this land,” he said. “It’s made of sand and ash. Nothing grows here. I’ve tried for… for a very long time, to cultivate life back. The panther was one such success, but you’ve taken it from me.”
