Tony couldn't handle the pain he caused his children, so he decided to leave again. It was for the better this time. Without a home or their mother, the twins went to live with their maternal grandmother in Calridge, over 3000 miles away. The beach was lost, as was the comfort it provided.
Several weeks later, the twins were walking home from school. Out of the corner of his eye, Eric spotted his father! Eric nudged Elisa to quietly point out the unusual scene. Elisa saw nothing. She jokingly mocked him but continued her stroll home. Eric rubbed his eyes and found that there was nothing as well. Running to catch up with his sister, he dismissed the crazy event.
Off in the distance, Tony smiled as he watched his children from afar.
