Elise was prepared for awkward conversation. She had told Father that she'd done Jackson a favor and he wanted to take her out, but she'd skirted around actually mentioning he'd suggested Boston.

Of course, she also hadn't said that she'd found the GPS in her cellphone. She'd left it alone, merely replacing the battery like she'd meant to. She didn't mind Father being able to know where she was. That was why she liked the idea of Jackson meeting Father. Jackson would assure Father that all was well.

Besides, she needed to get away from Cambridge for just a short while. After her minor confrontation with Evelyn Mead and Miss Mead's... unfortunate breakdown, she rather needed to get away from Cambridge for a short time. Of course, it hadn't been difficult. Evelyn had called her insane, said she was doing "horrible" things... A general fight. Then, while Evelyn and her friends had been gossping about how "crazy" she was, she'd switched Evelyn's hand sanitizer with the same brand but that she had added a compound to, a compound that wouldn't appear on a drug screen. Then, three hours later, it had activated. The "maggots" had started crawling under her skin, and she'd screamed and screamed, according to her roommate, torn at her flesh.

Of course, nothing could be proven. The school would never know, and the worst thing that could happen to her was gossip. Still, it would be nice to step away from the talk for a bit. Surely Father could understand that, and going out with Jackson was a perfect way for her to get away for even just an evening. She wouldn't trouble Father to take her to Gotham for a weekend. He had important work, but perhaps he would allow Jackson to take her out for one evening. She sipped her glass of water while she waited, trying not to be nervous about this.

Surely her father would trust her to be alone with Jackson.
