The beach on TV always looked so perfect. Flawless white sand and an endless ocean.

"Can we go this year?" asked the little blonde girl. Her mother sighed.

"We'll see."

"But you promised!"

"I know, but your dad's very busy at the moment."

"He's always busy."

"He has a very important job. Uncle Danny's said we can borrow the cabin for a week."

"But that's boring!"

"I know, and I'm sorry angel. I promise we'll go next year."

Next year came and went, and eventually they both forgot about taking a trip to the beach.
