Jim had been teaching Sam about swimming from the time she was half a year old. It seemed like it was something she should learn, being that they were stuck on a tropical island. Luckily, she took to the water like a fish, and once she was old enough to demand things, going to swim was usually one of her requests. He always found time to bring her ( Read more... )

Pepper couldn't remember the last time she felt so harried. Planning something this large on what was essentially short notice would have been taxing back home, but was all the more difficult on the island, which lacked most of the conveniences that made party planning actually enjoyable ( Read more... )
