93 Lunch at the beach

While the sun reached its peak and midday hit with the hottest air, Lara and her cubs hid under the umbrella.

Jaden nestled on her deckchair, his head on her bosom and his eyes closed. He was taking a nap after getting tired in the water.

On Nate's chair, protected from the sun by the umbrella, Scarlet was looking at the other two and sulking because there wasn't any space for her. Who could ever design such a small chair?

She had had her turn of sleeping in her mommy's arms, so she couldn't even complain about the world being unfair.

Nate had gone looking for some food, and he was already back after a few minutes with a lunch box filled with sandwiches and other delicacies. No rare meat because it couldn't be eaten well on the beach.

That day was turning even worse for Scarlet. But, at least, her mommy seemed happy.

«What is it that makes you frown like that?» Nate asked while sitting down next to the girl.
