Jack slumps onto his bike, arms crossed, clearly not impressed. “Do we have to bike, Mom? I just want to get home and game,” he grumbles. Lily smiles. “Yes, you need some new clothes—and biking is a better idea than taking the car. So, let’s go!” At first, Jack pedals furiously down the straight roads, thinking only of the minutes he is losing for gaming. Lily follows behind, enjoying the wind in her hair and the wild chatter of birds. Then they turn into the woods, and the world changes. Sunlight filters through the leaves, the air smells of earth and pine, and everything feels hushed, like a scene from a fairy tale. And then—right on the bike path—a family of deer appear. They pause, stare at Jack and Lily, and trot across, their antlers glinting in the sunlight. Jack’s eyes go wide. “Mom… wow!”, he whispers. He hops off his bike to take pictures, watching the deers slowly disappear into the trees. And forgetting all about his gaming plans. Lily grins, savoring the magic of the moment. By the time they reach the city, Jack is buzzing—not from racing, but from wonder. He quickly sends the deer photos to his friends. “Okay, this was pretty rad,” he shrugs.
