"Lizzy! Come on, we're going to go meet Dad now, Mum and William have already gone we're late!"

A small girl of 9 years ran down the stairs of the house,

"just need to find my shoes!" she cried as she ran past her older sister before swinging back around and grabbing the slippers held in Rosaline's hands. Shoving her toes into the shoes she stood up straight,

"Ready!"

"Finally! Come on, lets go down to the beach quickly – you do want to meet Father don't you?"

With that the two girls raced down to the shore Rosie only stopping when she saw Lizzy standing anxiously by a rock, hidden from view of the beach,

"What if he doesn't like me?! What if he's mean? Is he mean? Can you remember him? What does he look like? Is he nice?"

Rosie laughed, "Come find out" she invited holding her hand out so her suddenly shy sister would feel safer. Turning a corner they walked onto the beach, the 9 and 19 year olds both apprehensive about meeting the father they loved from afar, for a single day.
