Maverick raised his hand to rub his nose, appearing a bit sheepish as he admitted, “I just wanted to make you happy, that’s all.” He seldom spoke such soothing words.

At his response, Laura’s face flushed slightly. In an even more bashful tone, she replied, “Let’s forget about hiking. We’re not as young as we used to be. Why don’t we just enjoy ourselves around here? It seems there are kites and fishing rods at the campsite. We could try out these youthful pastimes.”

Maverick immediately stood up, saying, “I’ll go borrow them right away.”

As his words fell into silence, both of Lysander and Josiah were momentarily taken aback, the sudden burst of energy surprising them.

Josiah also came to his senses and said to Lysander, “You chat with your parents for a bit. I’ll go arrange things.

Lysander asked, “The hotel should have fishing equipment, but do they have kites?”

Josiah wasn’t quite sure about this either. “There should be one, right? If not, I could always swing by the children’s playground again and maybe buy one from a kid?”

Lysander voiced her concerns. “It’s uncertain whether there are any children around right now, let alone if they have kites. Even if they do, they might not necessarily agree to sell them to you.”

After some thought, Josiah said, “I could have someone buy it from the town and bring it here. It would take a little over an hour by car, but they could start fishing in the meantime.”

Immediately, Lysander suggested, “Let’s divide the tasks then. I’ll head back to the hotel to purchase the fishing equipment while you arrange for someone to buy the kites.”

“All right.”

Susan watched from the side, assuming their harmony was due to having let bygones be bygones. She felt relieved and teased them, “You two, don’t rush. There’s still plenty of time. Take it slow.”
