The day was very young and the night was diving into the dawn. Elsie was also very young and Jake was diving into the pool. He surfaced and looked around to make sure his little sister was still wading in the paddling pool. He was supposed to look after her until their parents returned after their honeymoon weekend. He loved them very much but this habit of theirs to renew their romance was getting to be a bit too much for the teenager. I mean, they are already very much lovey-dovey, even in public, they surely don't need any more romance. I agree, Jake. But I'm the narrator of this tale and I'm not going to comment on the working of your (or, for that case, my) parents' brains.

Anyway, Jake was swimming, Elsie was waddling and you all are still waiting to understand why I am telling you all this impertinent details of Jake and Elsie's life. Well, what else will I do if I need to have the perfect start for my story of Jake?
