A couple of weeks later, Lydia went back to questioning the reason she was here. Sure, she was enjoying being here and being treated like a princess but she didn't know why she was here.
One night after dinner when Elaine and Lydia were in their room getting ready for bed, Elaine started pestering Lydia.
"So what's going on between you and Edmund?" Elaine asked.
"What do you mean?" Lydia asked.
"Oh c'mon. Don't try to deny it. You're friends now, but you both want to be more than that. It's obvious."
"Is it? Lucy didn't tell you, did she?"
"Yes and no. I'm your best friend Lydia. I know you. Besides, you're both being so obvious. Lucy did mention it, but it just confirmed that I was right. How long has she known?"
"Since Edmund accidentally told her he liked me I guess. She promised she wouldn't tell anyone."
"Good. Then I can get Lucy and Susan in on this too. Susan's figured it out too."
"What are you getting them in on?"
"You and Edmund. You need to go out alone together. So since Lucy and Susan both have the morning off tomorrow, that's what we're discussing."
