It was a beautiful summer's evening. The sun was still beaming in the sky, and the gentle breeze was so relaxing as Joe sat on a hilltop, camera in hand, taking pictures of the beautiful land in front of him. He was overlooking a delightful meadow, with all kinds of beautiful animals. He smiled softly, before turning his glance to the sky. The sun was coming close to the horizon now, as it neared 8. About another half hour, and he could capture the perfect sunset picture.
He took his phone out of his pocket, checked for missed calls or texts – often he was so lost in the beauty of nature, that he never heard his phone go off on full volume. He smiled as he saw nothing, no interruptions, and put it on the grass beside him. He looked back towards the animals, a deer in particular. He zoomed the camera in, set the focus, and took multiple shots of the beautiful animal to make sure he could get a good one. He smiled as he pulled the camera away from his face and took a look at the pictures.
He was just about to take another picture, when his phone blared out. He wasn't in a deep enough trance to miss the call, so he sighed, and picked up his phone.
"Hey, Nick." He said to his brother as he answered.
"You'll never believe who's back in town." Nick said, he sounded worried. "You're not going to like it."
"Who?"
"Hailie." Nick said, pausing before finishing, "with an approximately 3 year old daughter."
"Hailie?" Joe asked, in almost a whisper, finding it hard to speak through the shock.
