Clever title or something idk
So like. I had a misunderstanding about wetsuits in the Shark Teens draft that Wolfy corrected me on, and I was thinking about how to deal with it, like whether to do a whole rewrite or see if there's anything I can do with it, and I realized that it's a really good way to introduce Terry-Marie's family to the story. I've been looking for an excuse and it's a great one!
Since Terry-Marie lives much closer to the cove than the boys do, then on noticing his obvious discomfort she offers to bring them round to the store and let him borrow something from the donations bin (her family runs a book store, and they also have a donations bin for clothing and food and other stuff that they take to the shelter on the mainland). That'll let me establish a little more about her family, and a little more about the kids too. (Such as that while Terry-Marie and Stasney aren't particularly close before the story, he has a very good relationship with both her father and her grandmother, due to frequenting the bookstore.)
