After watching Kelly storm away, Lillian regretted revealing her opinions
so strongly. Although everything she had said was true, she needed to gain
Kelly's trust, and the only way to do that would have been to use her
meeting with her that day to get to know her. Now she had to figure out
how to fix the damage that she had caused.
Upon leaving the diner, Lillian spotted a white business card lying on the ground. Out of curiosity she picked it up and was shocked to discover it was one of Kelly's which had probably fallen out of Kelly's bag on her way out. Although simple, the card held a certain kind of elegance that Lillian could not ignore. In the center of the card appeared the words Charles Townsend Investigators and below that appeared the business address and phone number. Then, in the top corner appeared the name Kelly Garrett, confirming that this indeed was where Kelly worked. Before this discovery, Lillian had been planning to visit Kelly at her house again, but now she had a better idea. Now, she would be waiting for her when she arrived at work.
Despite desperately wanting to go that day, Lillian had decided against it, figuring it would be better if they both had a chance to cool off. Although her opinions of Kelly's career hadn't changed, she was more willing to listen now and to get to know her long lost daughter. She was glad to see that Kelly did not make the news for a second time that night, but it still worried her that Kelly could be in more danger then she could ever imagine.
Early the next morning, Lillian drove over to the Townsend Agency to wait for Kelly. She wasn't sure what time Kelly normally arrived at work, but it was important that she didn't arrive after her. When Lillian pulled up to the building though, she was surprised to find 2 cars already there. She instantly recognized the first one as Kelly's, but although the second one looked familiar to her, she wasn't able to identify the owner. She knew it was probably one of Kelly's co-workers though, meaning not only had Lillian arrived after Kelly, but she wouldn't even be alone.
Unsure if she still wanted to talk to Kelly in this setting, Lillian sat in her car for several minutes before getting the courage to enter the building. She was impressed with the building, that was for sure, but it didn't change what she thought about this profession. When she had finally found the door to the office, she looked through the glass to see who Kelly was with. Right away she recognized the other woman as the blonde lady from Kelly's house. Despite the fact that her stomach was doing flips, Lillian gently knocked on the door, and a waited for one of them to answer it. Just like when she first saw Kelly just 2 days before, the blonde girl opened the door, but this time Kelly didn't seem as shocked to see her. Instead, she calmly walked by the blonde girl, explaining that she would be back as she began to push Lillian back towards the door.
Once outside, the calmness that had controlled Kelly in the office quickly disappeared and was replaced with the same anger that Lillian had seen the day before. Right away she knew she would have to explain her actions before Kelly had a chance to say anything.
"I know this is the last place you want to see me Kelly, but you dropped one of your business cards, and I was desperate to talk to you again. I realize that I may have been a little too straightforward yesterday and I wanted to apologize. I really do want to get to know you, if you're still willing."
With that all said, all Lillian could do was look at Kelly for some sign that she would be willing to give her a second chance. At first, it didn't look like she had a chance, but then Kelly began to relax a little, and Lillian could tell she was thinking about it.
"Fine….meet me at my house tomorrow morning. We can talk again there." Then with that, Kelly once again disappeared, this time back into the office. Lillian knew this would be her last shot at gaining Kelly's trust, and this time she wouldn't let anything mess it up. As she got back into her car, she looked over at Kelly's car and decided that changing that wasn't as important as she originally thought. The idea of her daughter driving a Mustang didn't thrill her, but she now remembered the purpose of her trip to LA, to find her daughter and to get to know her. She couldn't change who Kelly was, but she could become a part of her life, and that was more important then disapproval over careers and cars.
