Mum had been right about your ski boots, or at least they didn’t smell like pee. Today though you would be going with mama while Lucy goes with mum, then in the afternoon hopefully everyone will be comfortable enough that you can ski as a group again.
Before putting on you ski boots, you made sure you went to the loo. Though mum doesn’t say anything, you can tell what she’s thinking as she glances up from helping Lucy get her skiing stuff on. When you step outside with your ski boots in hand, you smile in amazement at the pure white snow on everything.
A few steps behind you, Lucy simply goes, “Wow,” in a quiet voice.
“I know, right?” you say with a laugh.
Stepping out, the snow makes an almost crunch sound under your feet.
