บท 89: Dragged away by waves

«What are we going to do today, mommy?» asked Scarlet before digging in her third doughnut of the day.

«We'll go to the beach... I suppose.»

«And what can we do there?»

«Swim in the sea and play with the sand.»

«How do we play with the sand?»

«We'll figure it out, Scarlet. Now eat your breakfast, please.»

As soon as Scarlet nodded and bit her food, Jaden opened his mouth to talk in her stead.

Lara stopped a deep sigh. It wasn't like her cubs were too annoying, either way. And she was eating mouthwatering food on a soft mattress while looking at the sea. What else could she need if not her cubs cuddling with her and asking one question after the other?

«Does the sea have an end?» Jade said, stretching out his hands for Lara to clean his sticky fingers.

«Yes, Jaden. We just don't see it.»

«And do you know how to swim, mommy?»

«I do. Not too well, just enough not to be taken away by the sea.»
