No one left the Porgue. They don't have anywhere to go like me. But, unlike me, they had people to come here with. Jordan was sitting at the bar talking to Max and Woody. Garret was at a table with Renee. Nigel was talking to some woman with Peter watching on. I looked up at the upper part of the bar and saw Lily sitting alone. She saw me too and waved me over.
"I thought you weren't coming?" Lily asked once I sat across from her.
"I changed my mind." I said. I noticed the girl Nigel was talking to walk away. It must have gone awful because Peter was laughing.
"Are you okay?" She asked.
"What?" I asked. I really wasn't listening.
"You seem so, I don't know, far away. Are you okay?" She asked again.
Lily means well. I know she does but sometimes she can't mind her own business. I know I sound rude but there are times I don't want her to act like my councilor. She cares too much about people and I remember a time when one of the people she counseled went over the line. A person could look all this over when they are in love with someone.
"I'm fine. Did you come here alone?" I asked, trying to change the subject then remembering she was here to meet Jordan.
"Yeah, I came here alone since you said you didn't want to come." Lily said smiling.
"Why were you sitting here by yourself?" I asked.
"Actually, I was sitting here with a very nice man but he left. Then I was talking to Nigel and Peter but Nigel saw some girl and they left. Finally you came." Lily explained.
She went on talking about some other things but I tuned out. Lily's alone but she's happy. That's something I might never be able to feel. Don't get me wrong. I felt like that when I paid for the homeless man's funeral for the kid but that quickly disappeared Garret took credit for it when Lily asked him about it. I shouldn't blame her though. I'm not known to do good things like that. So, naturally, she'll think its Garret.
Nigel and Peter went over to sit with Woody and Jordan. Garret is still talking to Renee. Lily really wants to turn around and watch them. I got up to leave.
"Where are you going?" Lily asked.
"I'm going home." I said. I was getting tried.
"You just got here." She informed me.
"I know. I'll see you in the morning." I said then I left.
