Alistair wouldn't be delivering lunch to Caroline today-he had to spend time with Mabel instead.
Nugget noticed him pause and stuck out its tongue, nudging Alistair's hand with its head. Alistair stroked the dog absently while forcing a smile for Mabel. "How about I pick up Eloise this afternoon? She'd love to see you."
"No, no." Mabel waved him off. "I'm still not feeling myself. If she comes over and I don't have the energy to play with her, she'll just end up bored."
Alistair smiled, but his heart sank. The nagging suspicion that had been eating at him suddenly felt like certainty.

Alistair said, keeping his smile, "Eloise said that when she grows up, she's going to become an inventor and create a medicine that'll make you young again."
Mabel's face lit up with delight. "That little angel is going to do amazing things!"
"So when should I bring her by?" Alistair pressed gently.

Just before lunch, Alban popped up in the doorway and said Paige and Giselle wanna see Mabel.
Mabel's expression soured instantly. "For crying out loud, didn't I specifically say I wanted peace and quiet today? No visitors?"
She'd even sent Gordon packing for the same reason, despite his plans to stay in New York for a few more days.
