overlooking the harbor.

"Dad!" Matt was the first to spot us. He was already running towards us and

hugging both his father and me.

"Hope you weren't waiting long," Gavin said he running his fingers through Matt's

shabby brown hair.

"No, we just got here," Matt said, guiding us to the table.

"Have you ordered yet?" Gavin asked.

"Not yet. Irene told them we are waiting for you to arrive," Matt explained.

Gavin nodded.
