After returning to the Jenkins estate, they parted ways in the winding alleyways.

Lionel headed back to his own mansion, where Jacintha likely had dinner prepared and waiting for

Elliot returned to E&S Haven, where he had already made a habit of preparing a hot meal before Sheena returned home so they could enjoy it together.
