The two children of the Laurent family were sent to Burg Eltz to be looked after by Daniel and Tiffany. This was a gathering among adults, held mainly to welcome Catherine. Having two small children around would only mean everyone fussing over the kids, leaving little room to truly relax, chat, and enjoy the meal.
Dave's cooking skills were, after all, no match for Laurent's. Given that this was a rather formal dinner, Laurent ultimately took charge in the kitchen. Dave stayed outside chatting with Bert and the others. Meanwhile, Lilian and Catherine sat farther away from them—the men's conversation held no interest for them whatsoever, so the two women simply talked among themselves.
Laurent's phone, which she had left on a cabinet, suddenly rang. She called out for Dave to answer it for her. Dave walked over, glanced at the caller ID, and immediately hung up.
Puzzled, Laurent asked him,
"Who was it?"
Dave replied calmly,
"A spam call."
