I am magnet for all kinds of deeper wonderment
Finally able to open her eyes, Seren was greeted to a first row display of Maeve's furious realization of how she had been duped. The reaction was so perfect that the girl couldn't stop the laughter from bubbling up, bright and pleased. It lingered through the splash and the dragging up on the beach, and only petered out when she flopped down by the blanket.
"The end justify the means," she grinned. A careful look at her friend revealed that she was safe; no anger, no repercussions, and Seren was still firmly convinced that she had won, regardless of cheats. "I like you too, Maeve. I will not do it again, I promise." It was easy to be generous from the top. Easy to make promises, and she even meant to keep them. "Let's rest for a bit, yes? It's becoming too warm in the sun."
They could sleep in the shade, or play in the shallows. Eat the rest of the food, and bask the day away until the fisherman returned on his boat to bring them home. No matter what they chose, it was a good day. A beautiful day.
One of those days to remember.
