The next day, Lilja had a very tense meeting with Emily about her order of rope. All morning her stomach had twisted in anticipation, and she had barely been able to eat. She felt wholly unlike herself, and in the end settled for furiously passing the time playing solitaire on her office computer.
The meeting was uneventful, but that didn't stop Lilja from worrying the whole time. She was quite surprised that Emily didn't notice, but realized happily that they had only met the day before. When the meeting, to her relief, ended, Lilja sat at her desk for a few quiet moments, holding her breath. Then, afraid to make a sound, she slipped out of her office and followed Emily's elevator down to the ground floor. Lilja was lucky enough to see Emily passing through the large glass panelled doors just as the elevator doors opened.
Lilja walked determinedly through faceless crowds of dark grey suits, careful to keep Emily's destinctly tan skirt-suit in the corner of her eye. At a bank Lilja kept her face hidden behind silk foiliage, pretending to be part of a particularily boring conversation on the state of politics in New Ginuea. She stalked between aisles of Zoodles and granola bars in a grocery store. In the park she lurked behind tall maples and elsem, sat on a lonely bench by the pond and slowly crept behind a baby's carriage on the walking path. Finally at dusk, her efforts were rewarded.

Ok, before you yell at me, I realized this is REALLY late, and short, but I figured some was better than none, and this is all I had. I'm also sorry about the semi-ominous last sentence. I want to make some major changes in the part after this, and I don't want to change view points mid-chapter, so it could take even longer. I'm sorry, but I'll have to leave you with this measly three paragraphs until I find some time and initiative. This could take a long time, or until I'm really bored during my spare. Teigr - Don't worry, I'm planning on it. Nikki - Sorry your name is long. Thank you so much... I re-read the begining and it's pretty much the way you said. The whole story is in a very pathetic, basic style that I'm trying to get over. I'm really going to work hard to better it, but once it's up I might take it down again. Miss Piratess - Thanks so much, praise is good. This is short too, so I doubt I get much critique but I'd like it.
