Niall glanced at Mer as they alk started off towards the house to search for Liam. He offered her a small smile, jogging off towards the house. He ran into the kitchen grabbing an apple then headed upstairs. He didn't bother checking Liam's but went through the other boys, stopping at his last. He noticed that his suitcase was out of place. He walked over to it. "Liam you do know we all have to fit inside of there right?"
Ellie giggled, shouting out "100" she ran along the beach, checking behind dunes, and following trails of footprints.

“
When you are born,” the golem said
softly, “your courage is new and clean.
You are brave enough for anything:
crawling off of staircases, saying your
first words without fearing that someone
will think you are foolish, putting strange
things in your mouth. But as you get
older, your courage attracts gunk, and
crusty things, and dirt, and fear, and
knowing how bad things can get and
what pain feels like. By the time you’re
half-grown, your courage barely moves
at all, it’s so grunged up with living. So
every once in awhile, you have to scrub
it up and get the works going, or else
you’ll never be brave again.
”
