I've put the kite in my satchel, and yes, I'll bring the chess set too.

Are we going to build a proper fire? I've got some spare apples if we are.

[alt_frank]

yeah.

apples sound good.

[alt_terry]

I'm fetching Kev. We'll make sure he's properly bundled.

[alt_evelyn]

Oooh, I forgot, Terry, could you grab that story I've been translating? It's on top of the bookshelf in the classroom. I thought I could read it out loud a bit.

[alt_terry]

I'll get it on our way out.

Thank you.

Just

Thanks.

I know it's been a really rough few months. But I'm glad you're here. Where you belong.

I'm sitting on a blanket watching you horse around in the surf with Kev and Bea, and Dad is chuckling a bit, with those wrinkles he gets around his eyes, and mum's head is in his lap, and I think I just saw her smile too.

I think I'll put this down and join in.
