Wallace & Liz were talking outside.

Liz: So, what brings toi all the way here from Rhode Island?
Wallace: The Christmas season. I have something I'm sure you'll enjoy.
Liz: And what's that?
Wallace: Oh come now Liz. You're not supposed to know until Christmas day.
Liz: Oh alright. Are toi staying anywhere?
Wallace: The National. Come over when toi can, and we can spend time together.
Liz: *Nods* I should get back to work.
Wallace: So long cousin. *Walks away*

After lunch, Kevin was driving up the colline out of Frenchtown when he saw Wallace walking out of the general store.

Wallace: *Walks back into a Mercedes*
Kevin: *Looking through his mirror* That's a fancy car.
Wallace: *Drives out of the parking lot*
Kevin: What does Wallace have for Liz?

Liz: *In her house, looking in a mirror as she puts on eyeliner* What does Wallace have for me?
Wallace: *In his room at the National with three presents* She'll be very pleased with these.
Liz: *Walks into the National* Which room is Wallace in?
Receptionist: *Looks on the list* 5. All rooms are on the 2nd floor.
Liz: I could have sworn toi had plus rooms. *Goes upstairs*
Wallace: *Opens the door, and sees Liz* Over here.
Liz: *Walks towards Wallace* Hi.
Wallace: You'll be very happy with the collection of presents I have for you.
Liz: *Looks at the seven presents, and opens one of them* What do we have here?

They were yellow glow in the dark strings for her guitar.

Liz: Never had these before, but they look amazing.
Wallace: *Grabs the smallest present* Try this next.
Liz: *Opens the present, and finds perfume with red lipstick. A big smile forms on her face*
Wallace: You've been raving about that brand on social media, so that was a high priority for me to get you.
Liz: That's great. *Opens the last present, and finds a red pair of sneakers with yellow laces* Oh wow!
Wallace: Something else toi shared on social media.
Liz: Why thank you. *Hugs Wallace*
Wallace: There's one last present I have for you.
Liz: Yeah?
Wallace: Remember when I told toi about the promotion I was getting last month?
Liz: *Nods*
Wallace: Well it's in Stockton, so now I'll be much closer if toi ever want to visit.
Liz: I will. I also have some presents I want to give toi on Christmas day. Thank toi Wallace, these are very good.
Wallace: Anything for my cousin.
