Eventually, the pool announces that all minors have to leave the pool for half an hour for the adults to swim. Laura toddles out of the pool with everyone else and removes her life jacket. Now’s as good a time as any to go home.
Laura goes back to the changing room, removes her swimsuit and swim diaper, and redresses herself, taping on one of the diapers she stole earlier. She’s startled to see that, at some point, she messed her swim diaper without noticing. This is quickly turning into a pattern she’s not comfortable with.
Dressed, Laura grabs her backpack, leaves the changing room, and blends in with a large family leaving the pool. Then, she heads back to Dan’s house. Once inside, she drops her backpack and climbs onto the couch in the living room. The exertion of playing at the pool, combined with her young age, makes her eyelids droop sleepily. Before long, Laura curls up on the couch and falls asleep.
