You can tell Lucy is getting tired. It’s nearish to the end of the day, maybe two hours of skiing left, so it’s not super surprising, but you’re not sure what will happen. Will everyone pack up for the day? You can’t imagine Lucy being allowed to stay at the apartment herself; mum and mama wouldn’t let even you stay alone at home for very long. So, mum or mama would have to look after her, which seems bad for your parents.
“How are you feeling, Lucy?” mum asks as you reach the bottom of another run.
“I’m good,” Lucy replies a bit too quickly.
Mum gives her a smiling but dubious look.
“Hmm — well, why don’t we try some blue runs on the other side of the mountain?”
“What runs were you thinking?” mama asks as she retrieves her map.
