Aldric and Harry spent the day at Cathy's, spending time with Elissa and attempting to include Rex. But Rex did not speak to Aldric, and that silent treatment went to Harry as well. Occasionally, Aldric did catch his son watching them from time to time; otherwise, he remained in the corner playing a game, playing with his cousin, Jack or leaving to go to the conservatory alone.
From time to time, Harry did leave to make a few phone calls, else he stayed and played a supportive role in a day that Aldric would remember for the rest of his life. When dinner time came, Aldric suggested he and Harry go out for dinner, seeing as the house was already busy with the return of Cathy's husband, Mark. The man glared at Aldric, but he didn't say anything.
