The next morning, Liz was acting a little strange and bit awkward toward Don which confused him immensely. Not usually clumsy, Liz seemed to drop stuff or trip whenever Don got close. Tired Don assumed that the awkwardness between them must be in his head and decided to forget about it and enjoy his day with his family.
First they visited the Zoo where Lilly took Don to the Elephant enclosure. Staring in awe, Don watched as Lilly approached the Elephant at the fence and held out a long piece of straw. Seeing this, the Elephant moved towards Lilly and poked his trunk through the fence. Worried Don stepped forwards to get Lilly but Liz held him back.
Baffled Don watched as the Elephant took the straw from Lilly and placed it in his mouth. Lilly giggled and held her hand out too the elephant, who sniffed the air around her hand with his trunk. Satisfied there was no more food the elephant moved away. Taking his hand in hers Liz got Lilly and led them both on to the next enclosure. A wave of mixed emotions rushed through Don as the three of them walked on hand in hand.
After the zoo Don took Liz and Lilly to the biggest toy shop in New York , Duncan 's Toy chest, where Don brought Lilly many toys and clothes. Liz finally had to take Don's credit card away. "Little lady, you are going bankrupt your daddy with all those gifts." she smiled at her little daughter.
Finally, as the day began to draw to a close, Liz was in the kitchen making dinner whilst Lilly played in her room. Don spread himself out
on the sofa and watched Lilly play for a bit before deciding to call Megan. "Hey Megan, how are things going?"
"Oh hey Don, things are good here, everything is under control. How are things going with you and Liz?"
"There's nothing going on with me and Liz," Don replied edgily.
"Ok…that sounds convincing what's going on?" Megan replied curiously.
"Nothing really I am just tired." Don replied dismissively.
"Right did you forget I am a profiler and a federal Agent?" Megan said with a hint of annoyance in her voice.
"No I didn't forget Megan," Don told Megan as the image of Liz, Lilly and him walking hand in hand through the Zoo came to his head. "I don't know…I just wish…I just want things to work out between Liz and I, that's all."
"Ah I see, well, just give it a little time Epps. You'll see. It'll work out in the end." Megan always knew what to say, Don felt much better after talking with her. Saying goodbye, Don hung up and went in search of Liz.
