Elizabeth At The Parkers' Estate

"Permission to what?" Jacob Parker asked as he entered the kitchen. 

Nic turned his head and was glad that his father finished his call early because he wanted to talk to them as soon as possible. He leaned on the kitchen island. His mother is on his right side while his father is on his left. He said, "I want to take Elizabeth to Lodgepole Estate,"

As soon as Nic said that, Jacob and J looked at each other. 

"Why?" It was Jacob who asked.
