didn't sing like us earthlings. Guy had told her that that was a great fantastical idea for a story and to make sure she wrote everything down, so as not to forget what she wanted to say, as loosing a good idea is one of the worst things that can happen to a writer, because you will never know if it would have been better than what you ended up with.
Guy brought everyone their bowls of ice cream out on the back porch. The back garden on the house led down to a river, which was fenced off. Adeen told him tales of growing up and seeing birds swooping down for fish and coming back up with small fish in their beaks for their young. Her mom had bought her binoculars at the age of five and she had been following the birds as best she could, seeing them feeding their babies in the trees and the birds then getting bigger and leaving the nest. Her neighbours had a cat and sometimes she would find dead birds on the porch. That upset her, as she loved both cats and birds, but would ignore the cat for a week after each dead bird visit.
Guy couldn't help but laugh at Adeen and her stories, not in a mocking way, but in a gee this kid sure has spunk, kind of way. He hadn't been around kids much, just his nieces and nephews, but he saw them less often than he liked. He promised that when this book was done, he would spend some time visiting each of his siblings families, wether they liked it or not. This kid was showing him kids could be fun and smart and not a complaining pain in the ass, like how they mostly seem to him when he's at the airport or the occasional visit to the mall, but then thats how he feels at the airport and the mall.
He never thought of himself being a father, but he has also never outright said no to kids in his mind. Adeen was a great kid and Darla was a pretty great woman too. She was pretty and funny, why didn't he make a move on her at the cabin? It had felt too awkward he thought to himself, like it wouldn't have been right to try it on with her, having been brought there on a job. But now they were out of the storm, the emergency was over, the seal had rescued itself and she was no longer being hired, in a way, by him. It would be perfectly natural for him to ask her out on a date. But would he? His thoughts were broken by Monika asking Adeen if she wanted to have a game of badminton. Adeen said no, at first, but when Monika winked at her and nodded her head outside with a stern face, Adeen followed her onto the grass and they began a game.
Darla moved to the chair next to Guy, that Adeen had vacated.
"She's a little spark of fun isn't she?" she said, looking out at her daughter.
"Yeah, she's a keeper al lright."
"Hey, mister, that's my kid you’re talking about."
"I'm serious, she's a great kid. I don't think any of my nieces or nephews would be able to have a conversation with an adult. But she's not annoying like those movie kids you see, where they end up turning you off the film. Adeen has the goods to back up what she says, she's only eleven, so I think she'll grow into a very fine young woman."
"Well, thank you. It hasn't always been easy. Having no male role model around is a tough one for girls, just as much as it is for boys. It's not like Monika is another mother to her, so she doesn't get the two parent balance.We've tried to instil in all the kids, that we love them and their fathers love them too, just sometimes love isn't enough to keep a relationship together and sometimes the mom or dad has to leave. In Adeens case, of course, with her father dying, it's been even harder. My brothers and my ex's brothers all have families of their own, so they can't really be surrogate fathers for her, although she does get along with them all very well. She has taken a shine to you though I can see, the fact you are a writer means the world to her, to see that you are a real person, and not just a name on a book cover."
"You know she was bullying me in the kitchen earlier, insisting
