Elspeth gulped. “Thank you, Uncle Irving, but for now, I need to go back.”

Irving didn’t like that she was going back so soon, and his face fell. “It’s not every day you come to see me. What’s the hurry?”

Elspeth smiled. “Callum’s probably still trapped. When I jumped ship, he didn’t come with me. I need to know how he’s doing.” She must find out if Callum was fine.

“Thank you, Mr. Irving.” It wasn’t a hassle dealing with the government, but Elspeth lost all her stuff, so reissuing an ID would take time.

“Oh, I almost forgot.” Elias smacked his head. “Elspeth, you mentioned one of the Winthrop brothers resembled me. What’s his name?”

Elspeth looked at him. She didn’t think she should tell him the answer right now, but since he was asking, she couldn’t hide it from him. “Edmund,” she answered.

A hint of curiosity appeared in Irving’s eyes. “So, you saw someone who looks like my son?”
