I few minutes of laying on my back pointlessly was all I could take. I sat upright and looked down at the ocean, just in time to see a large wave sweep Elaine off of her feet and send her face first into the water. I chuckled slightly at that sight. Maybe being out of the water wasn’t so bad after all.
“What’s so funny?” mommy asked without taking her eyes off of the book.
“Nothing.”
Daddy yanked Elaine upright out of the water. Her shoulder-length hair was now drenched. She jogged back toward us with wide eyes on her face.
“Done swimming already?” mommy asked, still too engrossed in her book to bother to look away from it.
“For now, the waves are a bit too rough,” daddy said, not mentioning that Elaine had been pushed over by a wave.
