"I'm sorry." Lia didn't really know what else to say other than that. She wished she could help make his life a little easier but she didn't know what she could do, other than be there. Biting her lip, Lia fought to keep in a sigh. She didn't really like when Noah talked about his ex, she always got this weird feeling in her chest that her mother so kindly explained to her was jealousy. All she knew was that it irritated her and she wanted it to stop. "Well, at least you have time to stop and think now, hm?" She finally muttered.

Noah frowned, he was irritated with himself for bringing up Bethany, though the mother of his child, was his past. "Screw it." He offered, giving her a half smile. He grabbed her hand in his, threading their fingers together. "I don't need to think about it, not her and her drama. I'm here with you." Noah grinned, looking at Azalia. He didn't want to think about all of the bad hands that he been dealt. What mattered was what was in his life right now, and he was happy that it was her. He looked out at the waves, blue water rolling in. The sun was high in the sky, sending waves of heat their way.

Lia smiled when he grabbed her hand, looking up at him. "I learned how to play a new song on my guitar." She announced, looking out to the water. She hesitantly scooted closer to him, close enough to touch but still not touching. "It took me a long time though. I almost broke my guitar at one point."

Noah felt her move closer to him, but he didn't acknowledge it, he wasn't complaining either. He gave her a smile when she mentioned the new song she learned. He was glad that she had that, playing guitar could be a good getaway. "That's great!" He said, "Will you play it for me?" Noah took a moment to check on his daughter, and saw that she was running towards him. He dropped Lia's hand and held out his arms. The young girl jumped into them, kicking up sand with a giggle.

Azalia shrugged a bit, biting her lip. "I dunno, maybe." Despite the fact that she wanted to be a rock star for her career, she always found playing in front of Noah to be super nerve wrecking, which was annoying considering she never got nervous. She fell quiet when Sophia ran back over to them, scooting away a bit to avoid the sand, and pulled her knees up to her chest, wrapping her arms around them.

Sophia gave Noah a kiss on his cheek, and got up, stopping in front of Azalia. She tentatively grabbed her hand and tugged on it dramatically. "I'm Sophia. What's your name? I like to build sandcastles, wanna build one wif me?" She babbled excitedly. Noah held back a chuckle and watched Lia, his daughter could get really excited about the silliest things. He decided to occupy himself with something, "I'll be right back." He said, getting up. He walked back to his car, getting his guitar from the back seat.

Lia looked up at Sophia when she grabbed her hand, shock making it impossible to speak for a second. She barely got a chance to speak as Sophia spoke in a rush, so when she stopped Lia immediately said, "I-I'm Lia. I would love to make a sandcastle with you." She stood, shooting her eyes to Noah when he got up and left. What was she supposed to do alone with a child?

Sophia giggled excitedly, tugging on Lia's hand as she trudged through the grainy sand. "Come on!" She called after her, as if the older girl wasn't going fast enough for her. She dropped Lia's hand, placing a plastic bucket in the save her hand had vacated. "Look!" She yelled, pointing to Noah, who had walked up with both his guitar and camera. "Daddy brought his guitwar!" She clapped.
Noah had placed his guitar on a towel, opting to bring his camera to where the girls were currently standing. He gave Azalia a reassuring smile. "Haf you ever built a sandcastle before?" She asked before sitting in the sand and filling her own bucket.

Lia followed Sophia down to her sand toys, speeding up slightly when she told her to come on. Glancing over to where Sophia was pointing, she noticed Noah with his guitar and a camera and looked away again. Azalia couldn't help but smile a bit at the little girl's enthusiasm. She wondered if she'd ever been as happy as Sophia before, and then figured she hadn't, not even before she had been diagnosed...
Sophia's question brought Lia out of her thoughts, and she found herself grateful for the distraction. Looking over at Noah, she smiled back at him before giving her attention back to the little girl. "When I was really little I have." She answered, sitting in the sand. "It's been a long time though."

Sophia picked up her bucket in both arms, it was a tad bit heavy for her small form. "Oh." She said, turning her atention back to her bucket. She managed to get it turned over and pulled the bucket up tenderly, a look of pure concentration on her face. She clapped her hands excitedly when the mold of sand stood in front of her. The shutter of a camera could be heard, and she looked up into the camera with a smile on her face. Sophia, it seemed, got excited about the simplest things. That was the joy of being a child, Noah guessed.
Noah sat in the sand between the two girls, and held the camera up. He continued to take pictures of everything around him. The sand castle being built, the water beyond them, he even smirked as he pointed the camera towards Azalia a few times. He wondered if he did it enough, she would get angry.

Lia kept her head down, her hair shielding most of her face as she worked on the sand castle with Sophia. She would've usually brushed the hair out of her face, but considering Noah was snapping away with his camera, she thought it best to keep her hair down. Filling up her bucket with sand, she smiled a bit when Sophia clapped for her own castle and patted down the top before flipping the bucket over. When she lifted it up, a bit of the sand fell down, making the castle lopsided. Her brow furrowing in a frown, Azalia placed her bucket to the side and began packing sand onto her castle to make it even.

Sophia had started to draw designs on her little castle with her finger, leaving inprints in the sand. She drew a butterfly and smiled, declaring it perfect. She giggled softly, but became distracted when a seagull landed on the beach a few feet away. Sophia jumped up excitedly, and chased after the bird. He laughter could be heard about twenty feet away.
Noah laughed at the small girl and looked at Lia. "I swear, she has the attention span of a dog chasing bacon or something." He joked, smiling at her. He poked a hole in her castle and lifted up a section of her hair. "So why are you hiding from the camera, beautiful?" Noah asked.

Lia watched as Sophia ran after the bird, and then lowered her head again to continue fixing her sandcastle. She smiled at Noah's comment but otherwise didn't say anything. "I'm not hiding." She lied at his question. "I'm concentrating very hard on my castle." It was an obvious lie, but Azalia didn't want him to know that she was camera shy, taking pictures that is. Performing in front of a camera was fine, but if you were to ask her to take a picture, Lia would nicely-or not so nicely-refuse. She believed she looked horrible on camera, despite the fact that it was not true.

Noah just smirked at her answer, it was obvious she was hiding. No adult would ever be that concentrated on something as trivial as a sandcastle if there wasn't a reason for it. His smirk spread in to a grin as she continued to work on that little castle, and Noah began thinking of ways to distract her. "You know there is no reason to hide, right?" He said softly, opting to get her to open up instead, "You look great on film." He ran his fingers along the bare skin of her leg slowly, with a small smile on his face.

Lia bit her lip when Noah touched her leg, her hands faltering on her castle a bit before she rose her face to look at him. She opened her mouth to say something, but then closed it again and lowered her face. "I don't." She said, shaking her head. Lia turned her attention back to the castle. She could feel a blush working its way to her cheeks again, and wondered why she was blushing so much lately.
