It was near four in the afternoon when everyone finished cleaning and setting everything. Under the warmth brought by the sun and summer wind, everyone set up tables and chairs near the lake. They were all dying to dip into the crystal water to remove the sweat and specks of dust on their skin.
Lilybella enjoyed herself in the lake while the boys were busy grilling and setting up the tent for the bonfire in the evening. Evangeline and Satele were lying on the laid-out quilt, enjoying the sun and breeze.
At the side, Asher and Satele were making eye contact, and Eric was peeking at Evangeline from time to time while Daniel was irritated with all the love in the air.
Satele took a mouthful of air and exhaled it in the form of a cough to get Evangeline's attention. She didn't want to, but Asher was pestering her with his eyes. And she did already make a promise that she would apologize to Evangeline.
