Harper Anderson-Hummel loved the smell of the sea. And more than anything she loved to go to the beach with her family.
The sea breeze was ruffling her thick blacks curls making her smile, under the warm California's sun.
"Ok, Harpy-bear. It's time to let some water go in this beautiful castle. " Her daddy, Blaine, said.
The little girl nodded vigorously admiring the sand castle she and her father had been able to build.
"Oh, but look what a beautiful castle that they built, honey," said a pretty blonde lady, of about the same age as her father, holding the hand of a child on her age.
"Good morning," Blaine said cheerfully.
"Oh, but I didn't want to disturbe you" she said embarrassed "My son loves this kind of thing."
"My name is Blaine," her father said "and this is my daughter, Harper. What's your name,buddy? "
"Lucas," said the boy shyly.
"Well, then Lucas," said Blaine, "Myself and Harper were to dig a long trench to allow water to enter the castle. Want to join us? "
The boy smiled and nodded, going to sit next to Harper.
"Oh, but I would not be a nuisance," she said.
"No bother," Blaine said, "and me and Harpy-Bear love making new friends. Isn't it honey? "
"Absolutely," Harper smiled.
"My name is Margaret anyway," she said "I am Lucas's mother"
"Nice to meet you," said Blaine friendly.
The small group worked for a while 'in a comfortable silence, while Margaret was sitting next to them to watch them.
"You're very good with kids Blaine" said Margaret "Your wife must be a lucky woman."
"Oh, I don't have a wife," said Blaine embarrassed.
"A wife daddy?" Harper asked confused "it's like a mother?"
"More or less sweety" Blaine said with a smile, "So? Are you ready to get a bit 'of water in this castle? "
The two little kids cheered happy when Blaine finally managed to get to the sea water inside the small castle moat.
Blaine seemed so comfortable, thought Margaret, and she saw no wedding ring on his hand.
"Mom, can come Harper to get ice cream with us?" Lucas asked.
"Sure," replied Margaret "Maybe I can get you anything. You know, to know us better " she added, then she turned to Blaine.
"I don't think is the case" Blaine said, smiling, "My husband should be here around"
"Husband?" Margaret asked, confused.
Just then a child of just over 10 years old deposited an incredible amount of shells at their feet.
"Wow Spencer" said Blaine surprised "Did you find out all by yourself?"
"Most of them" Spencer replied "Papa helped me"
"He did almost everything himself" said Kurt, appearing out of nowhere.
"Oh Margaret. This is Kurt, my husband, and Spencer, my son. Honey, this is Margaret, the mother of Harper's new little friend. "Blaine said.
"Nice to meet you," Kurt said smiling, "Honey, me and Spencer wanted something to drink, you join us?"
"You have read my mind" said Blaine, "you join us?" He asked than to Margaret.
"Oh, I don't think is the case" said Margaret.
"But Lucas was really good. He deserves an ice cream, "said Blaine, with a wink to the child.
"And then you're not in any trouble" Kurt added, "Honey, where's your wedding ring?"
"I took it off to work with Harper" Blaine said, pulling the ring out of his pocket, "You know I'm always afraid to ruin it"
"That's better," Kurt said, kissing him on the lips.
"Daddy, I want a cone with chocolate and vanilla" said Harper, while Blaine took her in his arms.
"It seems that you have worked so hard," said Kurt, "You deserve it"
And so it was that Margaret and her son shared an ice cream with the Hummerl- Anderson's, the most adorable family they had ever seen.
