Nadine and Carl came over, asking Daisy if she wanted to try out the water slide.

Daisy glanced at the colorful water slide in the distance and eagerly nodded her head.

The slide was on the yacht, indoors, and heated like a hot spring, so it wasn’t cold even in the middle of winter.

Charlene and Granger tried it out a few times but soon lost interest.

However, Daisy, Nadine, and Carl were having the time of their lives.

Thanks,” Charlene said, accepting the glass.

“No problem,” Granger replied, taking a seat not too far from her. “How old are they?”

“Daisy’s 16, and Carl’s 14.”

“Do you often bring them out for a fun day like this?”

Charlene shook her head. “Used to, but I’ve been caught up with work lately, so not as much.”
