Thank you all for your reviews!
I'm sorry about the misunderstanding in last chapter. It was just Neil who called. Nothing important or nothing had happened. I just wanted to show that Summer didn't care about all those stuff during that day. Hope you all get it. It was my mistake; I guess I have to be clearer about things like that.
Chapter seven – Into Town
"They're adorable."
"Yes, they are."
Summer and Seth sat on a bench, watching their children ride a merry-go-round. They laughed and screamed and their clothes and hair blew by the speed.
"Sometimes I wish I could do that." Summer said. It was more of a thought, but it came out loud.
"Do what? Go a merry-go-round?"
"No, be a child and don't care about difficult things and responsibilities. To not care of anything else than the moment and to have fun."
Seth watched his wife with sad eyes. He knew that she was pointing on her mother, but he decided not to bring her up. Summer had said that she didn't want to talk about it that day and Seth wasn't going to push her.
"But..." Set started.
"Baby, I'm gonna be just fine. But I have to leave, alone." Her voice was very decisively and Seth knew that she was serious. Maybe it was for the best. The kids would appreciate if one of them stayed home.
"Okay, if that's what you want."
"Thank you for understanding." She said and kissed his lips. They didn't get time to deepen it cos' Casey jumped up in their arms.
"Hi, little guy. Was it fun?" Seth lifted him up to sit on his knee.
"Yeah, did you see us?"
"We did. Where's your sister?" They had now noticed that Ava wasn't there with them. Seth could see the concern well up in Summer's eyes.
"Oh my God. She was just there."
"Calm down, Sum. Let's go ask the man over there." He pointed at a man standing outside the merry-go-round.
"Yeah." Summer said, trying to stay calm. Ava was probably just saying hi to a dog or someone she knew.
"Excuse me sir, have you seen a little girl? She's six year old and has got dark hair and a white dress." Seth said as they reached the man.
"I'm afraid I haven't. There are so many children around here. I may have seen her, but I can't remember that girl. I'm sorry." You could see that the man was sorry, he had sad eyes and shook his head.
"She's got long hair and it's a butterfly buckle in it. Her dress has got two yellow bands and she's got white shoes." Summer was starting to panic and Seth noticed. He was also scared for his daughter, but he had to stay strong for Summer and Casey, who sat on his arm.
"I'm sorry, I can't remember a girl like that. But if you want I can call for her in the speaker."
"We would like that, thank you so much." Seth said while he rubbed his wife's back.
"Seth..." Summer said with an unstable voice.
"We'll find her, baby. She's probably just hiding or saying hi to someone. She'll come here when the man calls for her in the speaker." Seth had a very comforting voice and it helped Summer a bit, but she was still so worried.
"Daddy!" Casey started to cry. He was scared by his parents worry.
"It's okay, sweetie. Ava's coming soon." Summer said and stroked her sons hair. Casey buried his head in Seth, but let Summer hold his little hand. Summer looked at Seth, she wanted to cry too. Seth pointed for her to join the hug. Summer stepped closer and Seth wrapped his free hand round Summer and kissed her head. Summer had tears in her eyes, but didn't let them fall.
"Excuse me…" The man approached. "I will need to know your daughter's name and your names."
"Of course." Summer let go of Seth and Casey and wrote down the information on a peace of paper, which she gave to the man. "Thank you so much."
"No problem, I just hope that she come's back to you." He said before he walked away.
Summer stepped back to her son and husband. It seemed to be forever, but finally they heard the sound of the speaker.
"May I have your attention please? A little girl named Ava Summer Jacqueline Cohen is missing from her parents Summer and Seth Cohen. She's six years old and has got dark, long hair and a white dress. I you all could keep your eyes open and please contact the ticket booth if you find her or has any information. I repeat; Ava Summer Jacqueline Cohen, your parents are waiting for you at the ticket booth. Thank you for your attention."
