"How much are you willing to spend on me?" Adelaide smirked at Elijah.

"Honey, I will do my best. But I'm still expected to go get your Uncle books at the end of the week." Elijah smiled softly.

"And hey, if we need to, we go into the bank of dad." Fleur chuckled.

"And since when does dad have money?" Morgan asked.

"Since he loves hanging out with his girls." Fleur hummed.

"Well, you got that part right."

"Well, there's a dance coming up at school." Adelaide looked a few dresses.

"What kind of dance?"

"Just..Homecoming." She shrugged.

"You're gonna be gorgeous, Junebug." Elijah hummed.

"Anyone asked you out yet?" Fleur smiled.

"Not yet." Adelaide shook her hesd,"But.. Maybe soon."

"I hope so." Fleur hummed.

"Can we trust you two to get ice cream alone?" Morgan pointed.

"Of course you can. I'm a responsible adult." Elijah crossed his arms.

Adelaide chuckled, shaking her head.

"I am."

"Sometimes."

"Come on, let's just go get ice cream." He sighed.

Adelaide hummed and skipped to the store. Elijah smiled as he followed after her, hands in his pockets.

"Top three favourite flavours." Adelaide pointed.

"Chocolate, vanilla, coffee." Elijah pointed back.

"Ew coffee."

"I need the caffeine, darling."

"Mine are.. Cookies and cream, strawberry and mango."

"Ooh, those are good choices." Elijah nodded.

"Thank you." Adelaide walked into the store.

"What do you want?" Elijah turned to her.

"Hm..Cookies and cream."

"Got it." Elijah hummed, walking up to the front.

"How can I help you?" The lady asked.

"I'd like two ice creams, please. One cookies and cream and one chocolate."

"Coming right up." She walked off.

"Agent Deans?" A man asked from behind him.

"Yes?" Elijah turned slowly.

"It's- Wow. I never thought I'd find you here."

"Who, uh.. Who are you?" Elijah blinked.

"It's Matthew. Matthew Lambert?" He tilted his head.

Elijah shook his head. He was trying and Matthew seemed familiar but.. He couldn't remember.

"My uncle has some memory issues, sorry." Adelaide walked over.

"Oh, right- Cosette. My sister." He pointed at Elijah to try and get him to remember.

"No, I don't know you.. Sorry." Elijah put his arm around Adelaide.

"You came to my parents house in 2008." Matthew sighed.

"I'm trying my best here."

"God, what's her name now?" Matthew clicked his fingers,"Fleur!"
