On the sands of Quincy Bay, Ottelia, dressed in a bright yellow bikini, took a few running steps and leaped high into the air like a gracefully poised mermaid emerging from the sea. She swung her arms and finished the round of beach volleyball with a beautiful spike, eliminating Sophia and Mary from the game.
Then, she celebrated happily with her teammate Pia, high-fiving her before waiting for their new opponents to take the stage—her mother and Pia's mother.
Robert Miller and Julian Farrell were rowing a rubber dinghy and fishing in the distance, while Tommy Hawk was the only one who insisted on staying under the nearby parasol. When they invited him to join them in fishing, he politely declined on the pretext of needing to ponder the future prospects of the company.
He even deliberately asked them a question: why was fishing more attractive to the two of them than cheering their wives on during the match?
