Family settled down
With the initial worry easing, the family began to settle down. Lucy helped the kids wash up, scrubbing the day’s grime and saltwater from their skin.
“Let’s get you cleaned up,” she said gently. The kids, still buzzing with leftover excitement, chattered about the day. “
Those things were so weird!” Carson exclaimed. “Yeah, really weird,” Katrina agreed. Robert leaned against the doorway, watching his family with a sense of relief.
The chaotic day was finally winding down.
