It was embarrassing to think that you couldn’t properly figure this out, that you really needed to go when you thought you didn’t. You were supposed to be a big girl and this did not feel like it.
Mama knows something is wrong as you go up the lift, but sharing it with someone else, she doesn’t ask about it, instead she puts her arm around you, giving you a side hug. The worries swirled in you mind, however and you can feel your eyes wet. Mama puts a hand under your arm as you get off the lift and leads you to a bench. A little bit unsure about everything, it soon clicks that your skis can go under it, letting you sit with your skis on.
You lean into her side.
