Lillian awoke to a chipping noise...the sound of coins being dropped, or pebbles being thrown.
She looked about the room, and what did she see? But some rocks being hurled at her window.
She opened the window.
"Who is that?" she asked.
"It's Abner, Lillian!"
"Abner? What are you doing?"
"Come here, I gotta ask you something!"
She shut her window, and trudged down the steps and out the front door to meet him.
"What's up Abner?"
"Lillian, I forgot to ask you earlier...would you like to be my girlfriend?"
She was speechless.
"Would I? Y-yes Abner! I would!"
She threw her arms around him.
"Thank you so much...dear." he whispered into her ear. She let go of him, "But why did you have to ask me at 3 am?" she asked, laughing.
"Beacuse I couldn't wait till morning."
A smile burst on her face. "Well, I'll tell you what, this made my day." he picked her up and spun her.
"Mine too. Mine too."
Taking him inside, Lily and Abner sipped away at tea into the early hours of the morning, conversing, and mostly enjoy eachother's company. Soon they were greeted by the Sun's beaming light, shinning in on them.
Abner decided to slip out before the rest woke up, especially Frank, fearing him. Lily returned up into her room, and reached down ito Sonny's crib, lifitng the boy, then taking him to the kitchen for breakfast. There, he told everyone the big news.
