[QUOTE="Karin Schill, post: 223151"] Ann had been wrong, the detective he’d hired had lost track of Emma. So it had taken him three days to track her down. It had been nice days that Ann and Harris had spent together, actually enjoying each other’s company. Yet they were both relieved when the detective finally found their daughter as they wanted to be the ones to tell her about Veronica and the longer they waited the bigger the chance that she’d heard it from someone else. So this morning Harris had rented a car and now he and Ann were on their way to see Emma. The car ride had been mostly pleasant so far as they were driving through a beautiful landscape with high mountains covered with pine trees, green valleys with little villages and Swiss chalets. Then the mountains finally planned out as they arrived at the shores of lake Geneva and they could see vineyards along the hills instead. “I never knew Switzerland was this beautiful,” Ann said, as she looked out over the lake where the sunlight was reflecting in the water. “I mean look at that castle over there. Isn’t it magnificent?” Ann pointed towards the [I]Chateau de Chillon[/I] in the distance. “Sure is,” Harris agreed. “It sort of looks like something straight out of a Disney movie!” Ann looked at Harris like if she was seeing him for the first time and then she smiled at him, “You surprise me Harris!” “Why’s that?” “Because I didn’t take you for the guy to watch Disney.” “Well sure I have, when Emma was little,” Harris smiled as a memory came flooding back to him. “Her favorite Disney movie was [I]The Little Mermaid[/I].
