As she rubbed the sunscreen over the parts of her body that she could reach easily enough on her own, Ellie couldn't help but wonder where everyone else was. She didn't necessarily expect Peter or Jalissa to be out and about early in the morning, but at least Rich or Nikki...although she was pretty upset over her breakup.<em>Maybe I should go talk to her,</em>Ellie wondered to herself, but then her dad stole her attention again when he nudged her to turn around, pretending to be getting impatient like he always did.<br/><br/>"Yeah, yeah, jeez. Hold your horses!" Ellie retorted before shoving the bottle of lotion into his hand and gracefully pivoting on one foot until she was facing away from him. Her father could probably see her shoulders tensing up, and she looked over her shoulder at him with an anxious look on her face while biting down on the corner of her lower lip, playing up the fear of feeling the sudden chill when the cold sunscreen touched her back.
