Read the narrative and determine the point of view:

"The teen walked along the beach with his mom, though neither one spoke to the other. The son kept glancing at his mother, sometimes with a furrowed brow, other times with wide eyes.

Sometimes she smiled a thin smile, but generally she kept her mouth closed."
