Once we settled into the living room, Serena and Brandon had already drifted off to sleep. I relayed the events of the evening at the beach to my parents and Russel, sparing no detail.

His affection for me, once boundless, then seemed divided between Serena and Brandon. Yet, I felt no jealousy. I knew that the love my parents held for their grandchildren was simply a natural thing.

“Absolutely,” my mother chimed in, “Next time, one of us must accompany you!” She immediately went to check on Serena. Her heart ached with concern.

Meanwhile, Russel had fetched some ointment, urging me to take off my shoes so he could apply it.
