March 2008

Belle watched as Harley snapped photos on his camera, she shifted her gaze down to Meredith who was curled up on the plane's chair.

"Mum."

Belle looked up at Harley, she poked her tongue out at him as Harley took her photo.

"When we get home, you'll have to upload all your photos."

Harley nodded as he sat comfortably down in his chair "Will dad be there?"

Belle looked up at Lindsay who sat across from her.

Lindsay and Belle both shared the same look; they knew, they knew Alytain's antics which included his excuses.

Harley sighed.

Belle shifted her attention to Harley "Sweetie, It doesn't matter if Dad is here or not. I'll always be there for you." That was a promise she was going to keep.
