Ten minutes later, Dylan and Dandy have secured their treasure, flown a rocket to the moon,andbuilt a sandcastle—yet more things Maisy has added to her to-do list—and my suitcase and cabin bag are both packed. My weather app says it should be dry and cool, but not cold. Perfect weather for a run when I land. I throw my favourite running trainers in before zipping my case closed and stacking my luggage by the door.

“Hey, Maisy Mouse?”

My little girl’s face grins up at me as I sit beside her on the edge of my bed. I run a hand over her soft curls. They’re growing longer, just as she’s growing older. And as she’s growing older, she looks more and more like her daddy, with those wise green eyes and the untameable curl that falls in her face. I brush it back with a gentle hand and press a kiss to her head.

“How do you feel about making special pizza?”

Maisy leaps to her feet, bouncing on my mattress and cheering. I laugh along with her.

“Come on, Mouse. Let’s wash our hands and hit the kitchen.”
