Hey Ella,
I had a safe journey home, in case you are wondering. I went to school today, saw my friends again. I had a great time being with you, I'd like to come over more often, but I can't seem to find time. I hope you and your mother will come and visit me once!
Nothing special happened today....I hope you had more adventures today.
This is gonna be a short write to you. I promised to write you so I do that.
Maybe you wanna hear more about Dad; I think you should ask you mother about the things she experienced.
Big Kiss. See You next time.

Ella put the notebook on her bed, besides her. She went downstairs to see where her mother was. She spotted Elizabeth in the kitchen together with the twins.
"Mom? Will you tell me about Dad?" Ella asked. "Hi Girls."
"What do you wanna know?" Elizabeth said. "Sorry girls...Ella I was just washing their feet, hands and faces. Can we talk about Mark later, when they are upstairs?"
"Sure." Ella said and went outdoors.
Elizabeth walked to the playground. Ella has to be there, she thought. When Ella was deeply thinking about something, when she was hurt or confused she would be on a swing.
Elizabeth arrived at the playground. She was right, Ella was sitting on a swing.
"Hey babe." Elizabeth said.
"What are you doing here?"
"Rescue-ing you."
"From what?"
"Drowning."
"What?"
"From drowning in your thoughts." Elizabeth smiled at her daughter. "What's up sweetie? Huh? You haven't been talking about your dad for ages."
"I was just wondering what you experienced with dad." Ella said.
"I'll tell you later okay? The girls are home alone and I don't know what to tell you right now. I wanna think about it. Let's go home."
"Okay." Rachel jumped off the swing. "Let's go, mother!"
"Don't call me that! You know I hate it! I start feeling like my own mother when you call me that!" Elizabeth said with her british accent.
"I won't do it again, mother. Sorry, mother. I promis I'll never do it again, mother!"
"Stop it!" Elizabeth started tickling Ella. They both laughed and fell on the ground.
"Let's go now, El." Elizabeth said and held out her hand. Ella took it and they walked home.
