Sophia shrugged off her puffy jacket, revealing a pale blue shirt underneath. She looked utterly exhausted as she complained, "I guess I'm just not used to the water here or something!"

Jasmine retorted, her voice laced with mock severity, "That's asking for a smack! Complaining about not being used to the water back home? I ought to send you off to the Midwest to chill in the cold wind!" Sophia immediately leaned closer to Mrs. Gilder, seeking refuge, "Look at her, always so mean to me.

Jasmine turned away, refusing to engage further.

Mrs. Gilder couldn't help but laugh, pulling Sophia into a hug, "Then you should just move in with us, away from her glares."

Sophia quickly sat up, equally surprised, "When did you get back?"

Jason didn't answer right away. Instead, he greeted Jasmine first, "Hey, Zoe!"

"Jason!" Jasmine looked at him with affection.
