"Come on Charlie, see if you can spot another fish," she said, holding her son's hand and guiding him into the next part of Melbourne Aquarium. They had all had a great time so far, Hemingway rattling off the names of the species for the fish he knew and making up nonsense names for the ones he didn't. Abi played along too when Charlie said Papa was just being silly. Melbourne had so far been an easy way for them to cheer Charlie up. He'd been quieter than usual since Luna had gone and well, she wanted her little boy back.
Their vacations always perked more life into them anyway and so Hemingway had made Charlie happier than before, with trips to the beach and now to the aquarium to see all the different exotic fish, learn their names and hopefully feed some of the mammals later too. "What colour is that one, honey?"
"Blue!" he said, craning his neck to see. "Is blue fiss."
