Eliza had just tucked Wendy in when she bolted out the door.

"Hold on a sec, Percival!" she called out.

Percival was about to slide into his car when he heard his name being called. He turned around and asked, "What?"

Eliza tucked a loose strand of hair behind her ear. "Percival, we haven't had a proper chat in ages. Can we catch up the day after tomorrow, maybe over dinner?" Percival squinted slightly. "What's on your mind, Eliza?"

She chuckled awkwardly, "I just wanted to talk to you about your mother, my sister, you know?"

Percival gazed at Eliza, his thoughts concealed by the dim light around them.

After a moment, he said with a deep voice, "Day after tomorrow it is."

Eliza then pulled out something from her pocket, handed it to Percival without explanation, and headed back to the Boyd residence.

In the car, Vivienne sniffed the object curiously.

"Why did she give you this?" Vivienne was puzzled.

Could it be that Eliza, a member of the Boyd family, did not want Gillian to marry into Percival?

Percival chuckled. "She probably wants to curry favor."

Vivienne nodded in understanding. "So, are you going to accept this favor or not?"

"Absolutely," Percival said, wrapping his arm around Vivienne and rubbing her shoulder, "It wouldn't be fun otherwise. Can't be completely uninvolved with the Boyds during this time." Percival had come to Sea City on a mission, and getting close to the Boyds was just a cover.
