“Uncle Judd!” The squeal came from a pint-sized brunette as she ran out of the secure area of the concourse and leapt into Judd’s arms.

“How are you, Olivia? How did you get so big?”

“I guess you did. Where’s your mom?”

The little girl wriggled out of his embrace and pointed behind her. Judd spied Angie making her way through the crowd of passengers just off the flight from Charlotte.

“Hi, big brother,” Angie smiled warmly.

“Hi, sis. It’s great to see you!” The pair embraced fondly. “Now, what do you say, we get your bags and blow this pop stand?”

Olivia giggled gleefully as Judd scooped up the little girl and plopped her on his shoulders.

A few hours later, Judd and Angie were relaxing on beach chairs, toes in the sand as they watched Olivia skirt in and out of the gentle surf washing up on Juno Beach behind Judd’s townhouse.
