She was talking to Ian while occasionally checking on Raf who was still busy swimming in the water. Maybe she'll join him after Ian's father picked him up, she thought.

"Dad, what took you so long?" Ian shouted. The noise slightly startled her, taking her out of her daydreaming. She turned her head towards the newcomer, only to find someone who looked familiar. She was just not sure where she had met him before.

"I had to make some phone calls, but I'm all yours now." Ian's dad said as he ruffled his son's hair as he stood in front of him. "Did you behave?

"Of course, Dad. You can even ask her." Ian pointed to her, quite positive that she would vouch for his good behavior.

"I hope my son wasn't a bother to you." The tall man said as he moved closer to where she was sitting.

"Not at all. He was quite nice and very responsible." She informed him, letting him know that he should be very proud of his son.
