Us.

The old man grinned as he stared at my despaired state.

"Ellie you're back." He cheered as he walked over towards me.

I gulped as I realised that person was in fact..."Grandpa?"

-flashback-

"Grandpa! Grandpa look!" Stacy shouted as she held a cream coloured sea shell in the air and ran after the old withered man.

"Oh my, isn't it beautiful." He exclaimed as a content smile approached his face.

Stacy smiled back and rushed over to me to show the sea shell.

"Come on, it's getting cold now, we should head home." Mother said as she pinched our cheeks and lifted us both in her tiny arms.

"But it's fun here." Grandpa whined as we were being brought to the car.

"Let's come back tomorrow."

-flashback ends-

"There you are my little princess." He smiled as he pinched my cheeks and gave a welcoming hug.

I smiled back as tears approached my eyes.

Why is he back now? After all these years?

"Your father told me to come, he said that you would at least be a little happy if I came to see you." He said, replying as though he could read my thoughts.

"Have you also come to see mum and Stacy?" I asked as I wiped the unleashed tears.

"Yeah." He whispered as he took a few steps towards the door.

"See you later." He said as he gave me a quick salute and started to walk off.

Maybe I shouldn't have spoke about mum and Stacy.
