10 minutes later, the two girls walked toward the lounge chairs where Theo and two siblings were sunbathing.
"Hey, everyone! Sorry we're a bit late," Vivian called out to greet them, adjusting her sunglasses with a smile. "Someone insisted on stopping for a premium iced latte on the way here."
"Hey, it was a hydration emergency," Aurora defended herself with a playful roll of her eyes, dropping her tote next to an empty lounge chair. "Good morning, big brother. Hey, Ay-chan! Shi-chan!"
"Welcome back, A-chan," Theo grinned, pulling out a couple of extra folding chairs into the sun for them. "How was the slumber party? Where's the other girls?"
"Fun, but exhausting," Aurora said, sliding into a chair and letting out a relaxed sigh as she soaked in the warm, golden rays. "Umaru tried to choreograph a full dance routine in the middle of the living room at midnight. I'm just glad to be out here by the water. It's so nice today."
