“Alright, Captain!” shouted Clara, her voice full of mirth. The deck of her model ship was meticulously clean. Sailing had always brought her a sense of peace and joy. Her son, Finn, loved everything about it.

She beamed as he carefully adjusted the sails, his tongue peeking out from the corner of his mouth in concentration.
