Chapter 108: Sandcastles

*Rosemary*

After tutoring the kids, they ran off to the lake. This time, Alli and Koga joined in. Mrs. Daikiri had gone to chat with her co-sister-in-law, Milo's mother.

"Hey, be careful!" I yelled. I sighed. At least I knew how to swim thanks to my days of visiting this lake as a kid. Although, I wish Orlin and Artie were still around. I missed them already, and they had only just been gone for a few hours.

I reached into my pocket and brought out a rainbow shell. Since were making sandcastles, I thought I could use this. It hadn't been part of a sandcastle in years. Come to think of it, the boy who gave me this... He had to be Saffron, right? Although, that boy's eyes were more vibrant. What had happened to Saffron in the decade-plus since we first met here? He didn't seem to remember me, though. Granted, I didn't realize it was him until now.
