Mama gives her a sad smile as you hope it won’t be everyone packing up. Yesterday mama had gone back to the apartment with Lucy while you skied on with mum. Thankfully, mum steps in, sharing a look with mama.
“How about we get you some food and you have a short nap, and once you’re recharged, I’ll take you skiing some more?” mum suggests.
You’re not sure there will be any skiing to do after food and a nap, but you can see mum is trying to make this as painless as possible. Looking unhappy about it, Lucy gives a nod.
“Okay,” she says tiredly.
Taking the back route around the village, Lucy leaves with mum. You turn to mama expectantly.
“We’ve got about ninety minutes before the last trip up the mountain,” says mama. “What do you want to do, sweetheart?”
