Elysia shifted uncomfortably, torn between not wanting to lie to her children and fearing the truth.

Emmett, holding Elysia's hand, insisted with childlike confidence, "Mommy, I can do it." Elijah wanted to reassure Elysia too but found himself at a loss for words, offering only a determined and confident look.
If Mommy didn't want Daddy to see them, he'd do everything in his power to make her wish ctrue. He couldn't bear to see her cry or be upset anymore.
Seeing her children's determination, Elysia felt a wave of calm. She hugged them close, "It's all up to you tonight!" "Don't worry, Mom, we've got this!" the three kids declared in unison.
Elysia nodded rapidly, giving them a quick briefing on what to say and what not to say when they met someone later, before telling them, "Go get ready, Mr. Lowell will be here to pick you up soon." "Okay." Minutes later, Lowell rang the doorbell.

"This child..." Lowell began, but Elysia cut him off, "This is my son, Evan. What about him?" Lowell, not wanting to scare her, replied gently, "He just remindsof Elijah." Elysia quickly said, "This isn't Elijah! This is my son, Evan!" Her mind was elsewhere, not recognizing Elijah. Lowell just smiled, "I know." He never would've guessed that the Bradford family had other descendants besides Elijah.
Changing the subject, Lowell assured, "Don't be nervous. I'm just taking you to meet someone who wants to chat. He won't harm you." Elysia insisted on accompanying them, "I'm coming with them!" Lowell hesitated, "Ms. Thorne, Tarquin he..." Elysia interrupted, "I'll stay downstairs. I won't let my kids go alone if he disagrees." "Alright, let's go together then." Elysia breathed a sigh of relief, feeling somewhat better being close to her children.
