“I might go and get Anwen in a little while. She was a bit cranky and wasn’t sleeping very well.” She smiled up at Jack. “She’s currently in bed beside Skinny, the two of them curled up together. I took a picture with my mobile. It was so cute.” She giggled at the sight of them still fresh in her mind. “He really is so good with her. I’m lucky to have such good people in my life.” She gave Jack a look, yes she had meant him too.

Wandering over to the bag, she rifled through it, then pulled out the little bottle. Squirting some into her hand, she began to put it on her arms and shoulders. “Thank you, Alisa,” she said as she spread a little on her face and nose. Her smile faded and she spoke softly as she moved closer to Jack. “Well, you know. It’s hard to forget the other camping trip. We want to go and have fun. It’s not even a lack of technology for me, I just… It’s hard not to think about the Beacons. Gwen still had bad memories she couldn’t shake.

Leaning down, Gwen began to rub some on her legs. “Aw, does the little one have a crush on Anwen?” She decided to move on to a much happier topic. “Tell Alisa thank you for this.” Gwen put it back in the bag and then plopped down on her beach towel. “I think it’s just grand that you did this for us, no matter where you take us. It’s a great bonding trip.” He really was a great leader as well as a great friend.
