The little girl with thick, auburn, bouncing curls ran, laughing through the long blades of grass. The sand grains moved with her under her little, bare feet and she looked down at the crashing waves with sparkling, grey eyes.
Her older brother called out to her and waved, nearly already at the beach. It wasn't fair; he was older than her and could run faster.
"Eddard! Hadass!"
She turned at the voice of her Papa, seeing him walking with Mama down from auntie's tree.
"Don't run too fast! You might fall and hurt yourself!"
"Yes, Mama!" she called out, pulling her skirts up so she wouldn't snag them on the grass like last time.
When she reached the beach, Mama and Papa had caught up and they walked together.
Mama's hair was flying around her face, she shivered and Papa held her close against the cold wind. Mama couldn't wear heavy fur anymore; her neck and shoulder hurt her. Hadass' eyes traced the white scars there. She thought they were beautiful, brother had told her Mama got them fighting a lion! Mama was very brave.
Her brother called out to her and she ran to him, into the water and squealed, laughing when the cold water rushed up to her knees, soaking her skirts.
Mama would scold her later but she used to do the same, Papa told her so.
She looked back to where Mama and Papa stood and Papa touched Mama's face gently. She smiled up at him and kissed him. Mama and Papa loved each other very much.
