"Thank you so much for hosting us even when we came without informing," Lillian said, standing at the door of Hal and Lucy's house.

"I understand. You do not need to apologise ... After all, I was being unreasonable." he then turned to Lillian. "The celebration is going to begin in a couple of days, right? I will talk to Lucy about a stall, maybe."
