He looked back at his parents. His mother was adjusting the umbrella to block a sliver of sun that had dared touch her ankle. His father was inspecting a hangnail.

Lukas sat at the water's edge, fully dressed in shorts and a t-shirt. Across the lake, he saw them. A real family. A dad tossing a toddler into the air. A mom floating on her back, her grey hair fanning out. A teenage boy, maybe sixteen, diving cleanly off a rock. All naked. All laughing. The sound carried over the water like the chiming of a distant church bell. fkk magazin
