"I understand."
"Good... Now call Aunt PA, she's worried sick."
"Oh... Mommy, Mr. Dalton is already calling Aunt PA."
"That's good... Go home with Mr. Dalton, and don't worry Mommy and Aunt PA anymore."
"Okay..."
"Good."
"Mommy, when are you coming back?"
"Very soon, Mommy will be back in Paris in a couple of days."
"Is Uncle coming back with you?" Rachel asked with anticipation over the phone.
Alice glanced at Chester, "Uh..."
Rachel hurriedly interrupted Alice, "You must come back with Uncle, I miss him so much..."
Alice made a vague "Hmm" sound.
Rachel said happily, "Mommy, Uncle promised to buy me a gift, you have to remind him not to forget..."
"Okay."
After finishing the call with Rachel, Alice's worried look faded, leaving only delight.
"Thank you." Alice handed the phone back to Chester.
