Doomed

The sky was shining brightly and the warm winds after the long winter were welcome. 

The flowers were blooming and the snow finally started to melt. It was a beautiful day to spend time with loved ones. 

"Mother, look what I have found." Luci exclaimed as he showed the pearl to her.

She smiled at him and ruffled his hair.

"This is beautiful, son. Give it to me, I will make a cufflink for you." she offered when he grinned but shook his head.

"No! I will make a pendant with it and give it to you, mother." he took the pearl back and ran to show it to Len when she laughed.

They were walking near the large lake with bare feet when the cold water slashed on their feet.

Chris was sitting on the chair near the trees. He still had a file in his hands and was working on it while staring at them often.
