Since Mount Froston was a tourist spot, there were a lot of places for camping. Hence, there were shops that rented out tents and other camping necessities. After Selena had bought everything, she started setting up the tent with the three children.
During sundown, the tent was finally set up.
Feeling their tummy grumbling, Selena led the three of them to a small shop in the mountains. As it was a last minute decision to camp here for the night, they didn’t bring enough food, so they had to settle with cup noodles for dinner. Fortunately, the shop offered hot water and a place to eat. Though the shop was shabby, the children were still happily gobbling up their food.
Once Juniper was done with her food, she said, “Mommy, I need to go to the washroom.”
“Washroom? It’s that way.” Pointing toward the washroom, Selena noticed there were no lights in the washroom. With that, she requested the shopkeeper to take note of the children while she led Juniper to the washroom.
Standing up from his seat, Joaquin needed to go to the washroom too, so he turned around to ask Jameson, “Jamie, do you want to go to the washroom?”
“Nope.”
“Don’t run around. Stay here until either Miss Yard or I get back, you hear me?” said Joaquin as he walked off to the washroom on his own.
“Alright!” replied Jameson obediently, and he continued to stuff himself with more delicious noodles.
Considering that this was Jameson’s first time eating cup noodles, Joaquin figured his little brother wouldn’t leave without finishing it up, thus thought it wouldn’t be a problem to leave him here for a second.
Juniper wasn’t feeling too well, and had a little diarrhea. Just then, Selena received an urgent email on her phone.
“Juniper, I’ll be out here waiting. If you’re done, call me, alright?”
“Okay!”
When Selena had finished replying to that urgent email, Juniper came out, and so both of them went back to the shop, but they realized the table was empty!
