"Avery, Ben is asking us out for dinner," said Elliot coming back from his phone call. "I will reject him if you are too tired." "Is Lilith coming?" Avery was feeling slightly tired but she was willing to go out if she could see Lilith.
Elliot immediately asked Ben through the phone, "Is Lilith coming?" "She's not done with work yet! She usually comes hat around nine or ten at night. Are you two not coming out to eat if she isn't there?" Ben asked. "You can still cif Avery doesn’t want to! We haven't seen each other for so long, do you not miss me?" Elliot felt goosebumps all over his body. " Just cover to where we stay and I'll consider treating you to dinner somewhere nearby." "Do you know it's an hour's drive from where | stay?!" Ben exclaimed. "I am injured!" "Hasn't that small wound on your face recovered? | thought you said that it's not that bad?" Elliot teased. "I don't think you would be able to let Peter off so easily if he injured you that severely." Unable to stand Elliot's teasing, Ben said," Alright, alright! I'll find you." "If you are coming alone, my wife probably won't see you," Elliot warned him. "She's exhausted." "I get it! | don't even hold a candle to how important Lilith is to your wife! If your wife is coming, we can catch up, but if she isn't coming, that's even better. We can drink for a bit," Ben said before hanging up.

"You haven't eaten much during dinner, right? Let's go meet Ben and eat smore, shall we? He will be here soon." "You should go! I'm not hungry." Avery had no appetite. It could be that she really was not hungry or because her mind was occupied by something else.
"I'll bring something back as late night snack then." They had their dinner with the Hutchinsons, ;g,;XKU; though Mrs.
Hutchinson had cooked up a feast, none of them ate much as they did not have an appetite.
"Okay. I'm a bit sleepy, though, so | might fall asleep before you cback." She massaged her temples.
"Go take a shower first!" He pulled her up from the couch and led her into the master bedroom. "Go to sleep if you are sleepy.
Don’t wait up." "Sure." The two returned to the bedroom. Avery opened their suitcases and took out the clothes to hang them in the closet.
Elliot wanted to help and said, "Go shower.
I will do that." "I can do this." She glanced at him. "Why don't you go shower first? You should clean up before meeting Ben." After that, she handed him a set of clean clothes.

She hung up and sent Lilith a message.
[Your brother and | are here in Bridgedale. Let's eat a meal when you have t] She then continued to organize the clothes.
An hour later, Elliot headed out and met with Ben in a restaurant nearby. Lilith, on the other hand, had completed her training for the day and called Avery.
"Avery, | just got my phone back. When did you two arrive? Today?" Lilith stepped out of the company and immediately zipped her jacket up. "I can apply for leave tomorrow and meet you guys." "Will that get in the way of your training, though? | am kind of busy these two days so we will meet you once I'm done." "Okay. | think Ben messagedas well." "He was trying to get you to join him for dinner with us. He is already here," Avery explained.
"Oh. It's too late now, so | will pass tonight." Lilith shivered. "You and my brother chere alone?"
