Felix was extremely hurt to hear that, even more, distressed that she was lying so far away from him.

Venetia went to say something but Oliver beat her to it,  "Cali, are you alright?"

She snapped her head towards him, and Felix and Venetia were shocked that he referred to her as that.

"I'm fine. Olly," Calypso muttered bitterly.

Felix didn't like her nickname rolling off Oliver's tongue, not one bit. He tried to get her attention but Venetia quickly warned them to stop speaking about Farleigh after seeing her parents stroll over.

"Guys, guys, guys."

Felix hushed, "Oliver, don't mention it, okay?"

Oliver's brows furrowed, "What happens if they bring him up?"

"They won't."

"What a glorious day," Sir James noted, walking beside his wife with his Panama hat in hand. "Never known a summer as hot as this one. Sweltering. I think it's even hotter than last year. I didn't think that was possible, but here we are again."

Calypso put down her phone when she caught Felix waving at her, she softly waved back annoyed that she couldn't ignore him.

"It's hotter than Barbados, apparently. Barbados!" Sir James said looking around.

Elspeth gushed, "No, I can believe it, darling."

"Honestly, I don't think I've ever been hotter in my life," he remained astonished as his wife collapsed into a lounge chair. "Oh, I need to check with Robert ...to make sure that he's being extra vigilant with the hydrangeas."

"Very wise, my love," Elspeth exhaled, "Oh, bliss. bliss, bliss, bliss." she hummed when she heard the song quietly playing. "Mmm! Oh, this song. God, I haven't heard this song in forever." She sighed, "I used to hang out with them all, actually, when I was modelling," she paused, "Your mother did too Calypso, right before your dad trapped her," Felix noted his love's face drop slightly. "Britpop, Blur, Oasis. God, the parties. Oh, but then, of course, 'Common People' came out and everybody thought it was written about me. Which was completely mortifying and ridiculous. I mean, I barely knew Jarvis."

Venetia called out,  "What? "

"She came from Greece. She had a thirst for knowledge. It couldn't have been me. I've never wanted to know anything." Elspeth groaned, "God, I wish we didn't have to go to London."

"I didn't know you were going to London," Felix said, playing with the grass beneath his feet.

"Pamela's funeral."

He replied softly, "Oh."

"Pamela died?" Oliver turned to him shocked, apparently, he was the only one who didn't know.

"Yeah."

"She'd do anything for attention."

Oliver seemed very affected by her sudden death, guilty almost.

"My love?" Felix called out to her.

"Hmm."

"Where's your necklace?" he noted her neck was bare and slowly she did too.

"Holy shit," Calyspo patted around, to see if it fell off but it didn't. "I think I took it off when I got in the bath, worried it was gonna slip down the drain."

Elspeth waved her off, "It's fine, if you lost it you can just get a new one."

"Fuck," she rushed off and Felix was quick to go after her.
