Family Reunion!
WHO: Søren, Seraphina & Alicia
WHERE: Hotel di sei Ali (Gammelgård Suite -> Hotel Restaurant)
WHEN: Lunch
The subject had been difficult to breach. Søren had tried several times to say 'your mother' but the fear that Acacia would just walk away again stopped him from properly explaining anything. So he'd told his daughter that they were going to meet a friend of his. Someone they knew from Denmark and he'd happened to bump into. Someone who had met her as an infant, which is why Alicia may or may not remember her. None of these were actual lies, though he was omitting a very crucial part of their relationship. And, really, Rose had been more parent to Alicia than either him or Acacia had been. But he'd told his daughter that they were spending the day together. No realtors, no doctors...just them, though they would have lunch with an old friend. Afterwards, they could explore the town. Whatever her little heart desired.
"Alicia, are you ready?" he asked, popping his head into her room. Realistically, Søren would have much preferred that they stay in one room, but he also realized that his daughter was growing up and learning to assert her independence. If nothing else from years of studying other people and helping them reintegrate back into society, he at least knew that Alicia needed her space. Not too much, mind you. Søren had dressed in a pair of jeans and a white button-up shirt, with tan loafers. He had a pair of sunglasses on top of his head and pushing back his hair. He would never feel ready to see Acacia again. Never. But he could at least try. For his daughter's sake.
