"Really? You're such a sweetie. Okay! I'll be back in a flash," she said, before rushing back into the house, with David and Stephanie trailing after her. Beam heard the clang of pots, and then, a few moments later, just as she said, she was back, handing a wooden lunchbox out to Beam. "There you go – thank you so much!"

"No worries. I'll be going now then," Beam said.
