The fire crackled low while the waves rolled in behind me.
I stayed put, pots lined up beside me like some night vendor waiting for customers.
Solaris came back first.
She walked out of the trees with her head slightly lowered, face still red, though not as bad as before.
She didn't even look at me.
She just placed the pot down beside me and speedwalked towards the shack with a defeated face.
It did not take long for the door to creak open again.
The rest of the girls had more or less the same reaction.
Well, in particular, Waffel was odd.
She looked composed, though the slight tension in her shoulders gave it away.
She was sweating bullets and had an incredibly pale complexion.
I leaned back slightly, watching the pile grow.
As expected, it's starting....
She placed the pot down neatly beside the fire and smiled shyly at me before going back to the house.
The boys were easier and more open with it, except Kenth and Maku.
