Cooper and I had been at the beach for over an hour, I made sure to plaster him in sun lotion even though the sun was behind the clouds. The beach at Portwrinkle was in a little cove and the only breeze was coming off the sea. I placed Cooper’s hat back on his head before picking him up and walking to the edge of the sea. It was quiet on the beach so I knew that the picnic I bought with us would be safe.

I paddled in the sea and looked out to the horizon, it was days like this that I wished I could share it with my mum and dad. We had spent many days at the beach when we were kids, building sandcastle and swimming in the sea.

“I miss you, mum and dad,” I whispered. “I wish you were here with us. I know that you would love Cooper as much as I do. I hope you’re both together and as happy as you were here. I’m happy, I wasn’t sure if I could trust someone again after Sam cheated on me, but I know that I’ve found the best guy out there to make me happy and keep me safe.”

“Da da da da da.” Cooper started chanting as I felt a pair of strong arms circle around my waist.

“Sorry I was longer than I expected.”

I turned around in his arms and cuddled into his chest. He pulled Cooper out of my arms and tugged me up the beach further so we were away from the water. He sat Cooper on the sand and encased me in his arms.

“Are you ok?” he asked. I nodded as I buried my face into his chest. “Stef?” he sounded worried.

“I’m ok. I was just thinking about mum and dad. I know they would have loved you both. They would be happy that I’m happy.”

“I’m glad to hear that.” He kissed my temple and I laughed as Cooper attempted to crawl away in the sand. His hands and feet were sinking and he screwed his face up in frustration.

“Grab your son and let’s have some lunch.”

“Sounds like a plan, I’m starving.”

“You’re always hungry.” I laughed.

“Hungry for you,” he winked. He scooped Cooper off the sand and lunged towards me. I squealed and attempted to run up the beach and away from him. It was no use, he was faster than me. He grabbed me with one arm around my waist and hoisted me off my feet. I screamed with laughter and Cooper laughed too.

“Put me down,” I giggled.

“Just so you know. You can’t run away from me, ever.”

“I don’t ever plan to.” Once I was on my feet I pressed my lips against his and only stopped when his hand wandered down to grip my bum. I slapped him on the shoulder, laughing before sitting down on the blanket.

He sat down with Cooper in between his legs and I handed him a plastic tub. He opened it up and looked inside.
