Water

Simon Battersea stood at the edge of the beach, watching as his younger two sons tore across the sand. He’d brought Louis and Oliver along with him to survey the English property he’d suddenly discovered amongst the half-destroyed papers. He’d sent a solicitor to the property and discovered that the tenants were aging and most were barely hanging on. So, he’d come out to check the property for himself. It was almost worse than what the solicitor had told him. The houses were falling apart. The soil wasn’t suited for crops. The tenants were all reaching their sixties. 

“Papa! Papa! Can I go in the water?” Oliver cried, interrupting Simon’s thought process.

“Sure, Ollie. Just be careful,” Simon replied, grinning as his six-year-old tugged off most of his clothing.

Watching his sons be boys and children was one of the greatest joys of Simon’s life. Oliver laughed crazily as he jumped over the waves. Louis had also joined Oliver in the water and was kicking it up in the air. 

“Papa! Come in, Papa!” Louis cried, waving to Simon. 

Simon paused, before stripping off his jacket, suspenders, waistcoat, and tie. He kept his boots on, as he didn’t want to risk cutting his feet. But, his boots were old and he didn’t mind getting them soaked as he waded into the cold ocean water. 

“Yay! Papa!” Oliver cried, flinging himself onto Simon’s leg.
