When Abigail returns home to see her father, she surprises him with the news that she’s earned enough money to buy the other side of Oliver"s duplex on Street 211 from its current owners, without it putting so much as a dent in her bank account. “I plan to sink money into both sides of the property, Dad, to ensure you have a nicer place to live as you grow older.” Abigail worries he won’t accept the offer, but he is growing out of his ego, and as age consumes his body and mind, he’s become more open to accepting financial help.
“I... I don’t even know what to say, Abigail,” his voice cracks as he pulls her into a one-armed hug. Affection is a rarity from Oliver, so Abigail allows herself to relax into it.
